WIP Critique Queen's Rangers Officer - AWI - 75mm

[tiberius57]

Here is my take on this beautiful sculpted figure from FeR Miniatures. This figure wasn't easy to research from the uniform point of view. I opened a thread in the Historical references forum and added what I could find. Here is the link:

This may assist you guys interested in painting this figure. Hope it will help you.

Here is where I got today. I'll show you some intermediate steps as well.
Your feedback is always more then welcome.
Cheers,
Zeno

Here are few steps:

Thanks a lot to all of you for the great feedback! I'm glad that you liked what I did so far!

Rodrigo - I wish, my friend, with so many great releases from FeR Miniatures. It's just a coincidence that it's the 3rd figure in a row from FeR that I work. But there are great products so I have a good excuse.
Nicolae - This uniform green, as you noticed from the references, is closed to a Forest Green. Pretty vivid green. In time, with exposure, it will fade and it will look as it has more brown in it. I decided to add some English uniform. The green that I choose is from Andrea Green Paint Set (AGPS). The base colour: AGPS #1 2/3 + 1/3 English Uniform. Shadows: AGPS #6. Highlights: AGPS #4. This is the triad that I used. I mixed intermediate colours so that the English uniform got in all the mixes.

I worked a little bit the composition and here is how it looks. Still I have few elements to paint on the figure so I have time to work around the composition if it's required
Let me know your thoughts.
Cheers,
Zeno
