I have done a bit more in the last couple of days, base colour blocking in and the Dolman lacing basic colour. The Pelisse blue base colour is between the cross lacing ready to apply the basic lacing colour.



That's it for now.

Fabulous work, Geoff. The highlights you’ve picked out on the busby have brought it to life even more, & I like the idea of blocking in the areas of deep colour between the frogging loops & the deep shadows - ensures you won’t miss any areas when it comes to applying the main colour, & reduces the need for touchups when it comes to finishing off the frogging.

Good spot there, one I’ll remember if I paint a Hussar or any Napoleonic figure in general.

Thank you very much Chris, pleased to have given you that tip.

Many thanks Nap, yes I do like the Citadel shade washes and it saves wasting thinned paint as it is like coloured water straight from the jar.

A few more thinned colour to go on there now, but I must block colour the pelisse first.

More progress today between phone calls, he is starting to get there now but still some detailing to do before the arms get attached and the hands and telescope get painted and fixed in place.



Cheers
Geoff.

Thanks Nap, Oh yes mate highlights will be in parts next on some and then when arms fitted. the blues are a mix of Vallejo MA Signal Blue and Docrafts Acrylic Night Blue.

Might manage a bit tomorrow or the weekend.

Cheers
Geoff

Looking very good and will be better when finished.
