All but completed.
I quite enjoyed doing this fella. First ACW for me.

See what you think,
Gells

Very nicely done Grant. I particularly like how you've handled the blues, the notoriously difficult fair hair and the leathers.
I think you could have pushed the shading on the flesh a bit more and deepened the shadow under the ears and jawline.
The whiteness of the teeth draw my eye a bit too much, might be an effect of the lighting on the photo.
Overall a great job in jig time too
Cheers

Good work Grant.
The uniform colours look really fine.
As with Del, the teeth in the pictures look very nicely bleached.......Maybe just the photo.
All the very best,
Keith

Great work Grant, I especially like the leather work
Regards,
John

great work, I to like the leather work, just the right amount of shine

regards Zane

Have to agree with Del about adding just a bit more shadow to the jaw line. Also could use some shadow around the sleeve where it meets the gauntlet so that it looks like its in the gauntlet. Hope that makes sense. In any case Grant, you did a marvelous job on this Yankee !

Joe

Great to meet you at Euro grant, nice work.

Thanks for the comments guys.
I'll shade more on the jaw line, ears and the sleeve at the gauntlet.

The photos aren't the best and it doesn't show up lot of the tones shading. The teeth have been washed with burnt umber to tone them down so are less bright than the WIP shots but they do show up as being Hollywood veneers in the photos.

It was great to meet you to Graham, hopefully have more time to chat with you next time.

Cheers,

Grant

Very beautiful and neat work. I like it a lot.

Xenofon

Great work. I especially like the hand with gun - it's perfect both gun and 'white' glove.
Cheers,
Martin

Very nicely painted.

Very nice work Grant , can see a lot of improvement on this one .To add to the above comments I think you could tone down the gold on the sword hilt a touch.

Cheers Davie

Hi David,
Will do mate.
I ran some dark brown oil wash over it but youre right it still looks a bit strident as does the blade.
Will work on this also.

Cheers for that,

Grant

Very nice indeed well done keep it up.

Ian

Excellent paintwork.

Marc

Well done!

Nice one Grant.....stand out for me is the leathers ....other than already mentioned....I would darken the pistol...very few of that model were bright metal.....mostly all were 'blued'

Cheers

Ron

Cheers Ron, and everyone for the advice and comments.

ThanksRon, I was unsure about the pistol. During my meticulous research I did see some on American pawn stars that were shiny but I guess they were reproductions.

Gells

Great work Gells.......The blond hair makes it plus the excellent leather work....Sorry Ron,not sure they were all blued,..I can't imagine a gun maker during the ACW putting looks over function.However being a used to be gun collector myself I would say a light wash of your favorite black would serve comfort for most gun buffs;..also bring out some details...............Anyway...one helluva nice job......Regards.........Wayne.........
....Just an after thought....Did you replace the resin sword blade with metal?......Another after thought..some guns were blued or browned with an acid process that help protect the metal from rusting......................Oh well...sunday night........and time for the geezer to go to bed...
