Completed TFB Multi hat conversion - 1812 War Militia

[Nap]

Hi Folks

Inbetween family stuff and getting Bugle Call sorted managed a little painting on this piece , took a long time , fairly happy , still to put a darker wash over and shadows in and then relook at the highs

For a break starting on the red tasselling ....might add a line of stitching just above it on all parts

Shirt just basecoat

All comments and suggestions welcome with open arms

Great work on a really interesting figure. Looking forward to seeing this one done.

Great start, Kev. Love the not often seen War of 1812 subject matter and how you've handled it so far. You definitely have more patience than I do.

These pictures really show your progress more clearly. The face is excellent, I like the jacket too.
Carry on the good work

The face looks excellent. I'm not sure about the coat, you've given it a kind of quilted look. I took a quick Google and none of the references I found had that kind of effect, but maybe there is something specific you are trying to replicate?

 

[Briggsy]

Nice one Kev, good to see you back painting again. Maybe a snakeskin hat band?

Cheers Simon
