A little progress on this .
Heid fixed on and face painted and some ground work .
Was going to go back in and work the shades on the face but unsure whether to call this part done .

Very nice Ron. You more than done justice to a beautiful figure.

Colin

He looks lovely Ron.
I've just been working on a 54mm face and just come to the conclusion it's probably best if I stop now and take a fresh look in the morning.

Looking very good Ron.

Cheers

Oils can be that way Roger ,sometimes you just look to close

There is a fair bit to do yet Colin , braid on the boots , Sabretache ,cords for the retention of the shako and paint in the joint at the shoulder of the right arm which was painted separately .

Looking incredibly good Ron.
This will be a real cracker when those final touches are in place.
First class work fella.

Lovely job there, Ron. Always liked this figure but all that lace gives me the willies

Great job Ron,
Your paintwork has brought to life a beautiful sculpt. Look forward to the final presentation.

Cheers

Colin

Hi Ron,just seen it on FB,lovely piece of work,is the silver lace metallics or done in white?,have a good xmas and new year mate

Cracking paint job on an intricate Napoleonic figure Ron.
Brian

Do nothing more on the face. It looks great to me.
I wonder if you paint the lace's non metallic but only oils.
If so, will you share the technic.

Marc

Marc the lace is GW leadbelcher metallics highlighted with Runfang steel and a little wash of Ivory black hear and there .
To be honest I am not that fussed with the result and may try a different approach on my next figure IE Tit white, ivory black ,indigo and some sort of green

GW ledbelcher , runfang steel and Ivory black oil washes

Cheers Brian
Have a great Christmas , hopefully we can all meet up in the No Mean City over the holiday slot

Cheers Carl , have a great Humbug

Don't know that kind of paint, better, I never hear about Runfang steel.
Maybe the Italian way will be better. Looking forward to the pictures if you have done that.

Marc

Looks great, Ron. Always interesting to see the different paint mixes used, this is just what PF is for. Someone should put them all in a book....Buon Natale!

It's looking great Ron.

Ciao Franco
