Completed Wallenstien 1633, 75mm

[Viking Bob]

A beautiful sculpt by Nello Rivieccio of Wallenstein, very little prep and now undercoated.
Painting is acrylic and oils. The armour has been painted in steel acrylic paint and allowed to dry, then a lamp black oil over the top then rubbed off with an ear bud. When that had dried, a going over the high points with polished steel.
That's it for now.

He is looking really good so far, the metals technique works very well.

Evening Bob. That's a great start. The face is excellent! Regards Pete

Cracking figure, love what you have done with the armour and the eyes are brilliant. Is that the order of the golden fleece around his neck.or is that an erroneous reference I've picked up along the way?

Cheers Simon

Yes that's the order of the Golden fleece, he was a great military leader but fell out with quite a few people and ended up being murdered.
Thanks for looking in.

Thanks both of you, yes lovely pose and Nello keeps knocking them out. Some superb figures from him lately.
The metal work is easy and works for me, give it a go.

Thank you all for the great comments, I'm loving this one, it's a lot different from Napoleonics.

 

[Richard Baxter]

I hope that Nello also produces a figure of Wallenstein's great adversary, King Gustav Adolf of Sweden. That would be cool.

He has a run of Napoleonics at the moment.
