I'm working for a while on this beautiful casted 54mm MM French Officer.
I still have to touch and clean few details. Sabre and reins will follow. If everything goes well, I'll start the groundwork pretty soon.
Thanks a lot for watching and let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Zeno

Looking good Zeno.... boots could do with some more work.

Yes, Sir! Will do!
Thank a lot Roger! Much appreciated!
Zeno

Very, very nice work.
I should go for more highlighting on the back of the horse. Looks all the same brown.

Marc

Pedro

Very very nice work!! But only two pictures???

K kid

Thank you Mark!
Yes. I'll add some. There are few thinks that I need to touch and clean.
Cheers,
Zeno

I think that's your best yet Zeno. Very nice face and good horse shades. It's shaping up to be a cracker!

Colin

Thank you Pedro!
I used oils: Ivory Black , Dark Rust (502 Abteilung), Light Rust (502 Abteilung) and for second highlight I added to the Light Rust Naples Yellow and Ochre. For the hooves and sock I used acylics. Let me know if you want the acylics palette.
Cheers,
Zeno

Thanks a lot!
Still I need to add few things and then I'll add the pics.
Cheers,
Zeno

Thank you Colin! Much appreciated!
I'm "fighting" now with the sabre straps... ... uf....
Cheers mate,
Zeno

Thank You Zeno!! I like this colour on the horse. It's just to know... in my next horse, maybe I do something like this
For now isn't need the palette, thank you anyway mate!

Zeno, your work looks amazing , i really like your paintwork.
I will have to agree that the boots may need a little bit more contrast, to me the lapels will stan out more if you are a little bit more light, but that is a personal taste and should not count as a critique.
Fine job
Regards

Thanks a lot! Your feedback is much appreciated!
The boots are on my to do list for the final touches.
Cheers,
Zeno

Nice, did you give a "wash to the lapels?, it really looks great if you did, i am still experimenting with washes, but i see that you have a nice blend of the colors from dark to light .
Keep up the great work Zeno

Zeno
This looks really good... are you a full-on Napoleonic convert? The horse is excellent, the uniform is very crisp and your flesh tones are spot on as always.
Any more Napoleonics palnned in the future?

Cheers

Colin

Excellent work my friend, amazing Horse!!!!
Briallant friend.

Alexandros

As you said, Zeno, there are a couple of things that require some more work.
I like these carabiniers of the pre-cuirass period.

very fine paintwork zeno,like expecially skin tone. cgeers

Hi Zeno very nice work!!!!
Horse is pretty good, I like the sock, nice transition.
