Completed Royalist Cavalry Officer 1643

[John Belcher]

Beautiful painting.Would have chosen a parliamentarian myself but this is irrelevant,it still remains a fantastic piece of modelling work.

Oda.

Thank you Oda, funny you say about the Parliamentarian, that was my first thought but when I fitted the Royalist head it just looked the part for me.

Hi Chris, sorry for late reply. I used Vallejo air color metalics. The pigment is finer than model color and flows very well. I started with chainmal silver which I added small amounts of black and and small amounts of Prussian blue and and extra dark green which are all model colors. To highlight I used pure chainmail and steel. Hope this is of some help.

Cheers
Chris
