Parliamentary Musketeer (Elan13 Miniatures)

[arj]

Following on from the Trained Band standard bearer, I've finally completed the ECW musketeer (also from Elan13 Miniatures.
The figure is 65mm and represents a generic soldier in the Parliamentary forces.
Painted in a mix of enamels, oils, acrylics and printer's inks.
The drummer in the series has been started, and Rupert is waiting in the wings.



It was a fun figure to paint (sculpted by Ian Succamore).

Cheers,
Andrew

Very nice figure Andrew.
Nice colour choices.
You could have pushed the contrast on the upper body a bit more I think. That and a bit of outlining around the colour could give him a bit more ‘pop’.
Will shut up now, seeing this is in the completed section...sorry...

Thank you for taking the time to look and comment Adrian.
You're most certainly correct regarding the 'pop'.
However, I was trying to make him as dowdy as possible, with just the painted powder flasks providing the colour.
Maybe I went too far on the 'dowdy'.

Cheers,
Andrew

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for looking and taking the time to comment Kevin.

I never knew that the powder flasks were painted until I happened to read about it in Tony Barton's item on his ECW musketeer:-

Drummer's moving slowly, mainly due to my purchases at El Greco.
Hopefully, I'll have him (and Rupert) done by Bugle Call.

Cheers,
Andrew

Lovely piece of work Andrew. I wouldn't call it dowdy perhaps muted describes it better.

Shame Elan only does small scales, they produce some nice stuff but too small for me.
