Virginia Regiment 1754

[Kreston]

This soon to be released figure from Michael Roberts represents a soldier of the Virginia Regiment, 1754. Sculpted in 54mm by Gary Dombrowski. I painted this one in oils with printers inks for the metallics. This figure is due to be released at next week's Atlanta Show.

Well done Kreston!

I especially do like the subtle worn effect on the leather, how did you achieve that? Looks good!

Kreston-

Looks great

What do you use as an undercoat prior to the printers ink? An acylic base?

Q.

 

[Kreston]

Thanks for the kind comments. Gary has done an excellent job sculpting this piece. I paint the printers inks over acrylics. Brass is over brown and silver is over a dark gray.

For the black leather I use a mix that is very dark gray/brown and just lighten it for areas I want to look worn.

Guys, Thank you very much for the kind words, the are appreciated. I've only done a couple 54's and they are not easy beleive me, I'm more comfortable with 75-120mm figures. Hopefully they'll get easier if I come out of my "comfort" zone more often.

Kreston, Great paintjob. The colors are just right. Now to find a F&I subject you can put mud on.~Gary
