The Red Lancer.

[Roc]

Hey guys first I would like to wish everyone a very happy Memorial day, and to my friends around the world a very nice day.

Since there is already a praetorian on a work bench, as to not bore you,I have decided to commence work on the Red Lancer and to share it with all of you.

Ed, I owe you one.

The proportions of that figure are spot on. If I didn't know he was destined for horseback, I would have guessed that it was Elvis. The basecoating looks fantastic too.

Happy modelling

Martin

 

[Roc]

Martin, thanks.
Since you brought it up, He kind of does look like the King Elvis, girating, the only thing he needs is mike. :lol: :lol:

Cheers.

Roc.

[Roc]

Thank you, Jason, much appreciated.

I can see this is going to be a very demanding but enjoyable project, lots of small parts to be painted seperately.I've had this kit around for quite a few years, I'm glad I'm finally painting it.

Cheers.

Roc,

Something similar occurs with my lancer. Today it is unfinished but I am in progress with it. I think you are in the good way with your lancer. I'll be waiting your results. Good luck!

Hi Rafael,thanks for that.

Since were both painting the Red Lancer at the same time, I also wish you luck,
and with very much like to see some pictures of your work.

Saludos.

Roc,

As you told me I attach two pics with my lancer (not finished yet). The main difference with yours is the blue color (this will be a trumpeter).

Regards,

Rafa

 

[Roc]

Rafael , mi amigo, your Lancer is looking good, I like the way you painted the blue uniform.

Are you using oils or acrylics?

Keep up the good work and keep us posted on your next step,I'm interested.

Saludos.

Roc.

 

[rafaelega]

Roc,

Thanks for your comments. I am using acrylics (Vallejo). The blue color is based on intense blue (925) with royal blue (old b-61). I think I got the lights using the base+andrea blue. I used dark blue+prussian blue in shades.

Ciao,

Rafa

Roc, Iv'e always liked this figure and now I like it even more! Let's see that horse. What are you going to use on this? Airbrush or brush? Keep us posted. I want to see your hands finish this figure.
Aghhhhhhhhh.....Napoleonics.......Now that's the life! :lol:

[Roc]

Rafael, Thanks for postong your color mixture.

Saludos.

Roc.

 

[Roc]

Hey Jim, thanks my friend, your too kind.

I will paint the horse after I finish painting the figure, I will be using the brush.
I'll keep you posted as I continue my step by step.

Roc.
