Cheers Mario, I try my best. I'm going to go up to 1/32nd scale for my own builds after this one, a bit bigger so hopefully a bit easier.

Managed a lot more painting today than I thought I might so some good progress. I worked on the eppulets, helmet and tunic mostly. Still bits to do, especially toning down the metallic. I did the medals, thanks for the references Kev, I know the middle one doesn't have the right number of red and white lines, just remember it's 1/35th scale.

Cheers Kev, I'm taking small steps to.making the silver work on the knot stand out. What I don't want is shiny silver paint, there has to be some shaping/shading to it and then matt varnish which knocks the contrast back. I'll keep slogging on with this. My next round of builds will be 54mm/1/32nd scale, I don't feel ready to jump to 75mm just yet!

He's coming on great Simon. Even Mr Cartacci uses metallics as a base then knocks them back with, in his case, non metallic oils for his braids, chevrons and epaulettes, so you are in good company there.

Many thanks, I took the desicion to stop doing NMM a year or so ago, I used it mainly on gaming mini's. I don't like the look of straight metallics so I treat them as just another colour. It looks OK and takes less than half the time. I suppose over painting with oils would be a good idea, I'd just have to find all.my oils again.

Nice job on those Austrian knots Simon

Many thanks, they still need some work, no sooner do I make them stand out as they should, they fade back when I add varnish! I'll get there though.

Many thanks a not so complicated uniform is always nice to paint, plus he's really small.
