Carlota Empress Consort of Mexico 1864-1867

Painting this 1/10 scale bust was a pleasure. Was able to use many paints that I had never opened until they were needed on this piece. Must say painting lady's is a challenge. Painted with acrylic's and used printers inks on the metal. This bust was sculpted by Carl Reid and is in the www.unitedempireminiatures.com line. Carlota Empress Consort of Mexico 1864-1867, wife of Maximillian I Emperor of Mexico 1864-1867.
Thanks for looking,

Great painting work, nice challenge, and colors fine painting all over the diadem... it is a shame the pics are out of focus.

Military miniatures painted by Eduardo Garcia

Thanks Edorta, the pictures are sharpe on my screen but every time I post they turn sideways? If you click the photo they turn upright ?. Not sure how to fix it

A really fantastic job Mike! I love everything about it. A beautiful example of "blending" using acrylics.

Well done,

you get the pictures with the camera vertical. Pc normally redirect the photos automatically.
To have the pics in the correct shape you have to modify a little bit it. It's happening also to me...

good job anyway
