    For the WIP please go to : http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/the-duke-of-brunswick.83708/

    Quite a challenge , with all the black ...pleased with result , the pics look more grayish but it's not ! ....at the moment !!!!...have another version in mind !!!!

    Thanks for looking in

    That face is awesome.
    If it was mine, I think I would highlight the laces more, or given it a darker shade beneath every lace.

    Very, very nice paintwork on this one. I have a number of black Brunswickers to do, but painting black is intimidating. Looking at yours makes me think that it is time to give one a go and let the chips fall where they may.
