Just started this flat from Fredericus Rex. A 54mm Hanoverian Horse Grenadier of the Seven Years War period.

Still working on the horse and boots but as usual all comments, critique etc. gratefully received.

Roger

Looks a good start. But the picture is to small to give some comments on.

Marc

Cheers Marc, 'nother photo coming soon.

Bigger pic.

How it stands at close of painting today;

Roger, a nice figure and a great start will follow.

Cheers Ken

Thank you ken. More tomorrow

Excellent work Roger. I'm always amazed at how life like these flats appear once you've got some paint on them

Thank you Carl. The plan is to display this one a little differently and include a foot figure too. More of that later.

Cheers Tony. The designer and engraver have to take most of the credit for that. Get a good lifelike figure and the painting is just the finishing touch.

Roger.

Early start this morning to do some face painting before the rest of the family got up.

Further progress, mainly on the red.

Roger.

You are fast Roger....Can't keep this up.
Excellent work so far.

Marc

Thanks Marc, there's still plenty of work to do.

Roger.

Excellent stuff, Roger!! Some sumptous reds and an interesting pose especially since it is a flat.

All the best,
Dan

Thanks Carl

Cheers Dan. Yes it's a great pose, if I can get the highlights etc. right it should give a good impression of being 3D.

Roger.

Hi Roger,

Nice start on this, really like the way you have determined the light source and brought this out on the horse. Look forward to seeing more.

Thank you keith, this is how it's looking at the moment. I've still got some work to do but itis getting there.
Roger.

Well done Roger..it really is an interesting pose and you've done a great job with the lighting effects on horse, and rider! I also like the mix of browns you have used on the horse.
