Hi Ewan

Great to see this finished , a nice result , I do like the work you’ve done on the sash , embroidery is neat and you’ve got a nice uniform blue .

Did you stipple on the highs ...they look good

You should be very pleased with this

Well done on the V bench as well https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/wip-of-first-historical-miniature-c-c-wanted.698485/

Thanks very much
The blue uniform was done by glazing over a zenithal using spray cans; no extra highlights added.
The competitions look fun, I think I will enter.
What level should I go for? I was going to go for intermediate.

Cracking finish Ewan, an iconic figure and pose and an equally great paint job. What colours do you use for the breeches, I really struggle with these lighter colours.

Ta very much. The base was buff from the scale colour artist range. I highlighted by adding ivory and I think I shaded by adding a touch of Payne's grey and maybe a bit of burnt sienna umber again from the scale artist range.

Thanks, I feel.the need for another on line paint purchase, so far Vellajo hasn't impressed. That said I saw today that Element Games are re-doing the P3 paints and their paler colours were never chalky. Going to get to the point where I need another draw in my desk just for paint!

I really like the artist line, they're super matte, have the pigments listed and don't need shaking. I also really like the new AK 3rd gen and monument paints. I've been eyeing the P3 paints too, I just wish they had the old style flip pots (I know you could get them in the Kickstarter). I just love buying paints, especially paint sets, I've bought several of the Kimera signature sets and love them. The way I see it, they take up a lot less room than board games (the other thing I like to buy).
