I agree with Daniel, the lace is excellent.

Always looking to add to my recipe book

Excelent!, thank you for sharing the mix.
I believe i bought a bottle of violet red last year from prince august acrylics, which is the same as vallejo, same codes too, and i think that could be simar to the burgundy color.

Love it it's coming on very well indeed love the gold lace work and the skin tones are very good indeed watching with interest.

Thanks, guys. MarquisMini, yes, that violet looks pretty close to the Burgundy Wine shade I'm using. It might be a little bit lighter, but you can always add a touch of black or black red if you feel the shadows need more.

Someone on another forum asked for a close up so I thought I'd share it here too. I just cropped the original digital photo and did not resize anything so you get the detail view. I used a lot of parallel strokes to try to build up a texture to the gold details.

Wow,it's not often a paint job stands up against that kind of magnification... but this work certainly does. Great detail work indeed.

Well done

Colin

It's just out of this world painting.

I managed to get in a little more painting time on this project. I extended the red down the rest of his pants and applied the top levels of highlights (Fire Red + Fair Skin). Up next: boots and hat!

So good! Just beautiful work!

Cheer's,

Beautiful !

That’s so good, it makes me sick. Why do I even bother?

Seriously, that’s a stunning piece of painting.

Jeff

Wow Bailey, that is stunning work!

Congratulations on a superb piece of work. Something to aspire to, without a doubt!

Cheers, Alan

Thanks, everyone! I took a little break from this project but now I'm back to hopefully get it all wrapped up. I put some paint on the base and boots, then attached the scabbard and painted that too. I was trying to get a shiny black look for the boots and I think it turned out pretty well. Some of the blends still need work, at least in person. I've got a couple more small details and then the hat to do. I'd also like to use some pigments on the base to give it a bit more depth.

That's just bloody brilliant.

This is a little stonker and turned out superb , now on my list

Ron

Excellent! Love the green and red!
