Completed Metal Models, 54mm. Officer Young Guard

[Viking Bob]

I have nearly done this just a few tweaks here and there, the tricolour rosette and the shako needs some more paint added to the gold lace.
All painted in acrylics except the sword blade (this is why I love metal), this was burnished with a stainless steel needle and given a coat of gloss to seal the metal. I have some detail work on the blueing at the top of the sword.
Whites were painted in a base of Deck Tan (vallejo 986) highs then with ivory (vallejo 918) deep shadows were German beige (vallejo 821) under the coat tails and vest.




Thank you for looking in.

He looks a beauty, Bob. The subtle shading on the whites is excellent.

Very kind of you Ken, this was passed on by someone on this forum and it works.
It's a lot of work but worth it. The secret is thin layers.
Thanks again.
