this little vignette shows two fig from Best Sodiers- 75 mm

During the French Iroquois wars, the Carignan-Salière regiment tried to find the iroquois army who did its best to avoid frontal combat.
So here we have an indian scout helping out a french soldier on patrol searching for signs of the indian army.

the little fir tree was scratched.

oil painted, and no freehand (or barely) with these figs !





this little vignette does change from what i do usually, but it was great fun even if the painting of both the coats required rather a lot of work.

Hope you like it
Marc

Bob

Ian

Very nice!

Very very nice
I love the flesh tones, the coats, the gradual highlights from the top to the deep shadows at the bottom..
It is a wonderful vignette.
Thanks for showing
May I ask:are you underpainting in acrylics before oil paints?
Alex

Outstanding composition and painting!
The figures are working very well together and the groundwork sets them so well!
Love it Marc!
Cheers,
Zeno

Yup, Brilliant brushwork
Alan

Excellent job all around.

Marc

thanks !
@Alex; I usually paint on humbrol enamel - matt 63 most often (either diluted handbrushed or better still; airbrushed ). It seems to give me the best results and the minimum shininess

Spectacular work and technique. Base looks spot on as well.

Great work and wonderful presentation.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Beautiful!
'Nuff said I think
