WIP War Drummer

[Sven]

Looking absolutely fantastic Sven. Great leather work and I like the color of his shirt as well. Just what color is the shirt? Looks to be pink or a very faded vermillion in the photos.

Hi Michael,
The color of his shirt is a mix of Vallejo "Brown Rose" and No. 2 of the Andrea brown paint set. I think you can achieve a very similar tone by adding white to Vallejo "Cavalry Brown"

That is very impressive painting Sven. The only thing I can't see on the model is the spanner for his wheel-lock - the key that winds the tension into the wheel. Maybe it's there but not easily spotted. The pistol would just be an ornate club without it.

Phil,
An elaborate club, indeed. Unfortunately, there came no spanner with this kit. I hope that this huge drum he is carrying will draw all the attention away from his pistol.

Maybe he keeps it under his hat? Only gun nuts like me would spot it wasn't there. It's no detriment to what is a beautiful bust.

Great looking work!

Thank, Scott. By the way, you use a great profile picture if I may say so being a tanker myself.
