    My latest figure to be completed. Almost all in acrylic and inks with some minor oil weathering used on the stone payment on the base. The cuirass, helmet, sword blade and hand guard are the metal of the figure burnished with a sewing needle then coated with a light application of Tamiya smoke color. As always, don't be shy with the criticism. Looking for feedback especially from our UK members whom have seen these men first hand.

    That's a 'Golden Oldie' figure from the past and yours looks great Chuck.

    This has been very nicely done. I tend to undercoat in Halford or Humbrol primers, but matt sand if there is red/scarlet involved, or white if the top coat is white. I block in large areas with acrylics and shade and highlight with enamels. I always use oils for flesh.

    Victory Miniatures has a couple of 120mm mounted Household Cavalry figures and one dismounted in service dress with helmet.

    Top work with the boots, the red coat looks great for me, very clean paint work. Maybe only needs a bit of definition or shadowing at the edge of some details like the straps, cuirass, of helmet logos.
