WIP Officer of Line Grenadiers 1806

[billyturnip]

I'm with you there. I've got a mounted knight I've been tinkering with for at least 15 years. I've either broken the reins, lost them and mucked up the gluing, each time it gets bagged for a couple of years. I'll have another go after the summer.

Flats are the way ahead for the hamfisted Derek.

For horse tack, I have just started using flat lead strip wound onto a card in 1mm and 2mm widths.

If he's looking, thanks again for the link Nap.

Hi Roger
I have a 2" brush spare if you want it for this larger scale piece.
A fine looking figure for you to colour in,
Keith

Lovely start Roger. Looks great. In oils I presume?

Cheers
Chris

Exactly! That's why I'm done with 3D horses.

Cheers Keith, it's not the size that's the problem, there's bits that go around corners!

Thank you very much Chris, yes, it's in oils.

I have just ordered some more MM Napoleonics,
I have told my wife that the moulds on these figures do not last long and they can only cast so many,
so I have to buy them now
PLEASE DO NOT LET ON.
Come on Roger get painting

It's strange but I also use this excuse with my wife !!!
The figurine really brings men together of all countries !!!!

 

[billyturnip]

That's enough round figure madness for the day, this is going somewhere to dry while I paint some proper figures.

I should be ok with that ........the Mrs is always saying I am round the bend.

Oh no I've just had a look at the MM website and I was hoping this would just be a passing phase.... repaint just the one and it would be out of my system.

You are hooked , Bonaparte will get you in the end , when you doing your first MM horse

 

[billyturnip]

I won't rule out doing another MM foot figure.....

... but that is not happening.

Cheers Bob, well I suppose if one came my way at the right price.....

Nice work, Roger. I like how you painted the white tones, a bit yellowish for the breeches.

Thanks Eduardo. I plan on doing some more work on the shadows of the white clothing, that might be today's job.
