Sergeant, 79th Highlanders, Waterloo 1815

[Sascha H.]

Hi and happy Easter to you all,

I have been visiting your wonderful forum for years, marveling at the results of all the inspiring artists here.

Well, after introducing myself on the Welcome Board, I thought I gather all my courage now and show you for the first time one of my latest creations. Please be gentle

This is my first large scale Miniature in 16 years after concentrating mainly on 28mm figures in the past. I must admit that I had to adjust my painting techniques quite a bit as I did not needed to over exaggerate shadows and highlights as I would normally do for the smaller scales.

The figure is a 75mm Miniature from Alexandros Models and was painted mainly in Acrylics. I used paints from various Ranges, i.e. Andrea, Reaper MP Triads, GW / Citadel, Foundry and Coat d' Arms Triads.

I decided to hold back on the weathering as I could not get me to dust or dirty him more. I also depicted a dryer, dustier patch of earth he is standing on which meant I only lightly dusted the shoes of him. I know it was a little bit wetter at Waterloo but I just did not wanted to start muddying and darken everything.

Kind regards

Sascha

Lovely painting Sascha! Very, very nice. It is a very strong display.
As a location, maybe, Quatre Bras on June 16 is better. They where part of the Wellington's reserve, 8th Brigade/5th Division and saw action that day. Weather was good on June 16, deteriorating next days... but this is secondary. Your presentation is outstanding. Congrats!
Cheers,
Zeno

Thank you for the kind words Zeno and the info. You are quite right. I might change that to Quatre Bras

Very well painted, superb all round. I would tackle this but the tartan puts me off at the moment.
