Elan 13's French Dragoon 1870

[Briggsy]

This one has been a slow side project that I have been painting for some weeks now. A very nice sculpt and an enjoyable paint, painted entirely in acrylics including Vallejo Air Metalics. He is stood on his supplied base with added flock and mounted on a Sovereign 2000 resin plinth.

Nice work on this one. And your pictures are a bit better too, which helps us appreciate your work!

 

[Briggsy]

Nap, Nigel again many thanks gentlemen, it really is a cracking figure with the right bulk wearing the Cape. I have changed my desk for a larger one and repositioned my lights a bit, just need to remember which directions to point them in for best affect, certainly holding my phone further away from the figure has helped the quality.

I shall post up.my new project(s) soon.

Cheers Simon

Thank you again, I have time on my hands due to living a rather sedentary life these days so I try to get to the bench most days, not much more I can do really and it keeps me sane(ish).

Cheers Simon

That's a very nice paint job and presentation. I do like Elan stuff but too small for my eyes and shaky hands.
