WIP 'Sapper of Foot Grenadiers of the Guard - 1806/7'.

[Ybrossculpts]

Hi everyone,
One of the rare moments I have to make a start on a figure painting project from my small but growing grey army stash. This is a beautiful figure from Romeo models, 'Sapper of Foot Grenadiers of the Guard - 1806/7'.
I couldn't help my self in the preparation stage and re-sculpted the face to my own personal liking, and some other area's I felt needed improving. I did a leg reconstruction to change the right leg position and also match it up with the left leg as it was noticeably thinner.
Priming starts next.

Thanks for looking.

Thank you Bob, it certainly is a great figure. I actually haven't started painting the face, that's magicsculpt putty, I re-sculpted the face as I wanted something a little different.
Regards
Chris.

Sorry Chris, saw the pics of the face and thought you had got ahead of yourself, looking good though.

Looks great love the face look

No problem's Bob, sorry to confuse things with the painted picture's. I didn't take before photo's prior to changing the face, so used ones from online for comparison.

Thank you brimmer, hopefully I can do it justice by painting it reasonably okay.

Hi Kevin,

Thank you and as I've said previously, hopefully I can do this figure justice as it's darn nice. I'm particularly keen on the Grenadiers uniform in that period 1806/07 campaign. Cheers again.

Chris.

I think that's the face done, pretty happy with how the sculpting changes have translated with taking a few coats of paint. Obviously other's would have done a much better job in this process.

Excellent work retouching the face. Subtle, but noticably different.
