Excellent work so far Paul look forward to seeing it finished.


Cheers David

Hi all
many thanks for the comments they are much appreciated.

I have more or less finished the left arm, some touching up to be done and the edging on the cloak. the cloak is a bit shiny as the paints still wet










All for now
Paul

I love the colours Paul!

Hi All
havnt had much time to do a lot more what with work getting in the way, however i have finished the left arm, I was contemplating doing the gold pattern over the whole cloak but wasnt sure so any comments would be welcome








all for now

Paul is corect; stippling and pontilism is not the same really. Ponitilism involves the aplication of painting many, many, many, many little dots of color with a very fine pointed brush- like a 3/0.

The effects that can be achieved with pointilism for simulating textures on wool uniforms, felt hats, leather and such are very cool.

Here is a very good SBS clip done by Dave Youngquest at Michigan Toy Solder showing and explaining how it is done on figures.
