Michael Miniatures British 17th Lancer Officer Full Dress 1837-1840

Hello everybody,

I'm pleased to show you my 12th painted bust of Michael Miniatures.
Everyone who have painted one can agreed with me that the busts from Mike Cramer are very great and give a lot of fun to paint them again and again.
This 12th bust of the range is the 17th Lancer officer sculpted by Aaron Brown.
Visit the website of Mike and you can see it with your own eyes. There are coming soon some very nice busts sculpted by the famous Carl Reid.

Your absolutely on the right way Ben.
This is looking allready great.
Highlighting and shading are great, but the white on the shako should have been more color in it than just black and white.
The white on his collar should be a little more off white. It is the eyecatcher on the back and that shouldn't be.

Thanks Marc for the note.
White is remaining a difficult colour.
Next time I have more attention for shading the whites.

Well done

As Marc pointed out a ``warm white'' (bit off-white a touch of sand) would be a great touch.

Great work on the metallics
