WIP S/Nco Dragoon Guards 1884

[Viking Bob]

Having seen the soon to be released figures from 1879 miniatures, I thought I would re-paint the Dragoon Guard from the talented hands of Mike French. I painted this one, way back in 1989, when it was first released. My painting then was not very good but passable. It has improved to slightly better.
I now paint in acrylic's as my partner can't stand the smell of white spirit, so here goes.

.....I now paint in acrylic's as my partner can't stand the smell of white spirit.....

Try spike lavendar oil... works better than white spirit and smells like Provence on a summer's afternoon.

As Mick says a classic

Reckon your painting has improved more than a little ...bit like my good looks

Following with interest

Great start Bob........Mike

 

[malc]

What a great figure.

 

[Cannonball]

Nice start Bob. I think Paul (peedee) was painting this same figure at this years IPMS at Bolton and it certainly looked a great figure in the flesh.

Mick, Its a great classic,
Fogie, I will give it a go and see what she say's.
Nap, think my painting has, not sure about the good looks, okay maybe.
Mike, Thank you
Malc, it is and if you can get one, do.
Neal, Thank you and with PeeDee, its great minds think alike.
Gordon, Many thanks, these larger figures take a lot longer to paint

Snitch....I suppose I have to finish it now

Ha ha, I will have to do the same. Good on you.

 

[Viking Bob]

A bit more painting last night, tidy up bits here and there.
Just the water bottle to attach and paint the strap, also complete the hand and sword.

 

[fogie]

A particularly fine sense of character about this one.

 

[chailey]

I have this one knocking about somewhere, it still stands the test of time and very nicely painted Bob.

 

[Nap]

Hi Bob

Now that's looking really good work on the badges as well ....

Wood effect on the waterbottle looking effective

Thanks for sharing

Nap

PS Hope we see Peedee's version as well
