WIP Flahaut (Pegaso, 54mm)

[Edward]

Hi all, I've made a start on this figure sculpted by Maurizio Bruno. The subject is Charles Auguste Joseph Flahaut, in the uniform of ADC to Marshal Berthier, c 1812.

The gold trim is excellent - is it a metallic paint or a colour effect.

If its a colour effect would love to know the combination?

Hi, there's no metallic paint used - I only use metallic paint for metals. I used mixes of Vallejo yellow ochre and leather brown with white added for highlights.
