Completed Critique Tiger Rifle

Hello,

I've just finished this lovely one.

I did minors changes so the mini looks closer to Don Troiani painting.

Paint 99% Acrylic

Jean Paul

Well done, sir. I've always like this figure but thought the pose a bit 'off'. Your changes have given the piece a much more natural feel to it. Wonderfully executed painting too.

 

[Meehan34]

this is very beautiful and calming. Very well done sir.

 

[ChaosCossack]

Excellent job on this one!! This is definitely my favorite uniform from the ACW. I really like the way you did the trouser stripes... narrow-wide-narrow. Very effective!

Cheers

Glad to see you did your homework on this Jean-Paul. Most often we see this jacket in brown, but they were blue. Well done!

Yes,

Very nice work on this piece.

 

[Angaliel]

Thx you all.

Unfortunately I will have to do again the bag's lace around the tree. It does not look real.....

Very nicely painted and a so quiet scene !

How did you do the grass ? Look reaslistic !

Laurent

For the grass, I have just glued some long grass.
And then I used an iron solder to burn (and then reduce) the high grass, to lower it.
But it also did burn it in a wild way that I did not expect. But I like it that way.

Merci Jean-Paul ! Ca donne vraiment très bien

Laurent

 

[O' Tabac]

Excellent! Very well done.

Salut Jean Paul,

I had the same question than Laurent. Does that mean it is natural grass ? That you burn ? If yes, where do you find such natural grass. I'm sure that if I test it myself, I could set my appartement on fire...
If by any chance you have any closeup pics, or in even better in progress pictures, that could be fantastic !
Best,
Julien

Hello Julien,

I dont remember the name of the grass, but I bought it from a model shop. It was destined for Train Modelers...
I guess its natural (or synthetic)....
With the iron I did not let it time to burn, just small touch at the time.

Here a pic before I used the iron :

Thanks Jean Paul, I understand now. It's a very clever idea !

Best,
Julien

Agree on the grass - the original grass was good but after burning its fabulous!
