Grettings,
This is the first time I've tried to post any of my work. Still learning! This won a gold at MFCA last weekend. Great show. Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rod

Very good painting. I think the pictures don't do justice.

Really nice painting - amazing detail on the gold braid and drum designs. Think the images are pretty good too IMHO.
Cheers

This is lovely Rod, what scale is it? what did you use for pinkish uniform?

Thanks for everyone's comments. Keith, it is a 1/32 scale Historex conversion, with the saddlecloth, drum banners from scratch. The pinkish color is actually a shade of crimson using various mixes of dark red, scarlet with crimson, with a touch of
sunny skin flesh color for the high highlights. It was a fun project to do, and I love to paint gold lace!

Thanks again,
Rod

Hello Rod.
I am doing the same subject with Metal Modeles horse and spare parts, with the exception of Historex drums, and a large amount of scratch.
Just discovered your work which is a source of inspiration but also pressure...

Missed this earlier in the year but it’s looking really good, combining an over-the-top uniform with a tough-looking individual.

I'm pleased that people are still buiding Historex after all these years. Superb job Rd.

Thanks to everyone for your comments! I really enjoy doing
Historex conversions. There are endless possibilties with them.
Paul, no pressure I've seen your work. I'm sure the finished work
will be fantastic!

Best Regards,
Rod

Thanks to everyone's comments. It means a lot! Go to the Virtual Museum of Historical Miniatures, it has a very nice picture of him. Much better than what I posted.

Best Regards,
