Hi Guys
Started to get some colour on the bust , more depth to be created plume to be painted ,did some metal work on helmet and curass quite pleased ,but have to do pin washes really nice to paint a couple of casting holes on the top of left arm but can be resolved with some super glue .
Arms only have one coat of paint epaulettes need high thing shading .
Any feed back is great

I am interested to see what you do with all those metals. Nice to see the Humbrol and Revell tinlets on show.

Hello Chris,
Before you go further you got correct some mistakes. I painted the Bonapartes Cuirassier and the Osprey's are totally wrong about the color.
You correct this: The redcolor on the belt on the cuirass is light brown. The upperside of the visor is not metal but black.
The plume at the front of the helmet: black in the middle and red at the outside. The blue is a dark blue.
The glove is some kind of ocre. the cuff of the glove is white.
All the Nappi's of Franch felt over me with the colors you have now.

Marc

Cheers mate
That's awesome mate I was looking at the box art , are there any images on the Internet I looked up the figure and what came up was this vision
Cheers mate

Using a mixture for the helmet of Darkstar , but metal clad for the curass, Marc has given me some info regard colours for the uniform have you got any ref pics for the colours Marc is saying
Cheers Chris

Hi mate
Yea changed my method of approach lol might not be a god idea however seeing that I have to correct some stuff when I finish work Sunday morning might bang on with the face
Cheers Chris

Good start bud. Some neat painting looking forward to the finished result

Great start Chris, i can tell this one is going to be a stunning piece when completed.

regards

This looks like a nice start Chris,look forward to seeing how you handle this one.

Great work, I like this piece.

The brass edge on the visor is correct, keep it, the peak should be black though as mentioned.
The front plume is black as the mane, in a brass fitting, I know it's not painted yet mate. There is no red on this bit.
There should really be a brass band around the top of the turban but it appears sculpted as fur on the piece.
I can't post images from my iPad but I have plenty if you need some chris from the cuirassier we did.
Great work
