Le Cavalier

My humble version of what I am sure is going to be one of many versions of this fantastic 75mm offering from FeR. I chose to stick with the box art instead of exploring some different colour or pattern options. I especially appreciate the nice touch FeR did by including a brass display label with the kit. In any case, feel free to fire away with critiques and/or comments.

Very well done Glenn.

Superb painting, I also like the light blue, which you have done beautifully.
Glad you said about the brass name plate, I missed it first time round, hope to do mine soon but no where near your standard.
Regards.

Thanks everyone. I am pleased this figure is being so well received. It seems lately that I have been buying and painting figures almost exclusively from FeR. I don't mean to sound like some type of commercial pitchman here, but I just really love the line up of figures they are releasing on a consistent basis. I must have about 15-20 of them, if you include the 1/16 civil war busts, in my collection. In this hobby there are so many different options for us to choose from, sometimes it can get a little overwhelming, and I know I often rely on recommendations from members here when they find a brand they like so if you haven't tried one of FeR's little gems, please allow me to recommend them to you.

[El Tché]

Very well done.
What type of paint did you use ?

 

[ghamilt1]

Thanks again to all for your kind words. For Thierry, I have undercoated the figure using Valejo acrylics, and then do shadows and highlights with artists oils, mostly Windsor & Newton.

 

[Edorta]

Precise and clean painting, the shadowing is perfect, I like it.

Thank you very much Eduardo.

I like what you have done here. Lights and shadows right in place, and the leather is very convincing. Makes me want to Paint it!

Thanks very much, I think you should definitely get one for yourself, you won't regret it.

Thanks very much Brian. For the life of me, I cannot get the lighting right on my camera. Whatever I try, the camera winds up washing out all the highlights. As you can imagine, this frustrates me to no end. One of these years I will return to the Euro Expo and you can see him in person. I retire next year so I have 2019 penciled in.

Thanks also Phil, I'm glad you like it.
