WIP Stormtroopers RHA Officer Crimea

[Nap]

Hi Guys,

Following on from my review of this piece from Stu Hale's emporium of resin thought I would start this thread.

I always put the work onto its final base and then wrap in cling film and in low tack paper tape(the model not me!!!!!)

​

Once I had prepped the figure up I primed in black as is my chosen choice .......all work in Acrylics for me .

Base coats were applied using mainly GW paints with some from the Army Painter.

​

The face will be first ...base coat applied using mixes ...I did this several times as I wasn't happy ...inbetween this I also built up the beard a bit ....more work on the face ..now looks different !!!

​

Then it was the waistcoat various reds were on the bench ...once I was happy with that .....deep breathing was the order of the day ...

...the lacework ..there is lot of it!...NMM for me using a Snakebite leather , black and white for the shadows and highs .......where we are is about 6 hours of holding my breath ...I don't work fast !.....still going to go back to this once the collar lace is done .

...time to stop swearing and realise I am enjoying this immensely

More to follow(in between painting something less lacey!!!)....the plan is to have this finished for FW...honest!!!

Hi Guys,

More of an update..... flesh finished now , cap band all done ...working on the facial hair with some more highs and then the cap top plus button

It looks a lot better in the flesh...honest!!!

To do collar lace . might revisit the lacework at the bottom of the waistcoat and do a bit more on the lace itself on the chest .

Then its the coat ...and collar

Then the article!!!!

Thanks for looking in
