Your simple paint mix has achieved very striking faces.
Looking forward to seeing this develop.

Cheers,

Nice stuff Roger, looking forward to seeing your completed scene. One question: who makes this flat set? Would like to purchase it and paint it up myself.

Ooooh. I really like this. It's going to be a most impressive scene.
Nice progress on the faces.

Cederstrom was pretty accurate regarding details and studied the real deal such as weapons, uniforms and other equipment, But he was not that faithful regarding historical correctness and mixed and matched stuff from different eras and periods. He made some great paintings, all of them very romaticized and made in a era of awakening nationalism and not to be taken for accurate depiction of an historical event.
However they are still excellent subjects for making dioramas (Mike blank has been inspired by a couple) and I think they make beautiful flats, especially in your gifted hands. I really will enjoy this.
Now, were did i put those crisps

Regards /Lars

Thank you Lars, I thought you would like this.

Looking terrific Roger.....

The perspective on the main group is super isn't it.

I would love you to put all the figs in, as in the painting with some cork Bark for the mountaunside.

With your skill it would lift it to a whole new dimension again.

However, it's just nice to see you back at a non-swaying bench. I'm following this as usual with keen interest.

Have fun buddy.

Cheers Paul, actually the cork bark idea did cross my mind but finally decided on this course of action.
