Ron, the overpaint is simply stains of oils used for the face. I did not care about cleaning surrounding areas, knowing that the fur and the colback would be painted in black.

Interesting you are painting him assembled with sabretache and sabre. Would never have thought of that.

Looks great so far. I agree with Colin, I've always found trying to paint around the sabretache/scabbard/sword belt combo to be more frustrating than anything and usually ends up with one or more straps being broken or creased badly. I wish I could make it work the way you have as I hate gluing over painted areas.
Anyway, I do quite like the yellow you've developed for the overalls... very nice, subtle shading and highlighting.

What colour are you going for to do the pelisse?

Colin

 

[Colin_Fraser]

Colin - he as the pelisse ground done .... in white. I missed it too. But that's right for Manhes.

Ahhh... on second look I can see the shading on the white. I'm getting blind in my old age It'll show better when some of the surrounding colours are blocked in.

[Paul20100]

Scabbard and sabretache are glued together and the former is glued to the leg as well.
This is quite solid and will be - if I may say so - easy to paint so assembled.

 

[Paul20100]

Hi gents.

Hereafter where I have been to.

 

[Paul20100]

Still a lot more to do on the horse with lights, shadows and reflections. Plus eyes, mane, tail, hooves, etc.
And metallics, gloves and other details on Manhès.

The gold lace is superb Paul as is all the figure so far !, what oil mix did you use on the white?good old oils you cant beat them! Gerry.

 

[Aveleira]

Looks Amazing from the horse to the figure!! I like your horse's paintings...very natural.

Regards
Pedro

 

[Paul20100]

Thank you all.
For the white: titanium white, mars brown / black, plus a touch of caput mortuum (Old Holland).

 

[Edorta]

Very nice Paul. I like a lot the cleaness and detail of your work.

The tone of the horse in the box art seems all black, but you have painted it in black/ dark brown tone. I like it.

Paul - your painting style is very porcelein-like. I could never do that but love the style.
