    Hi all,

    here a figure sculpted by my friend Greg Girault (Mister Greg).
    I have the resposability to paint it :) . It will be our second work team. (the first was the injuried french Garde Mobile from the same period).

    I just undercoated the baseground, not the figure.

    I prefered to do my own baseground (after asking Greg) instead of using the "official" one.
    We decided to try to represent Paris street with a small wall of stones to defend.

    I have to finish some minor preparation on the figure. But I can start soon to paint the base.

    Hi Jean Paul!

    The base/groundwork looks great but the figure seems off-balance?
    Try to tilt it a bit to the figures left side?

    Cheers

    Thx for the comments !

    You're right Janne,

    that's because the figure is not glued yet. It only putted in the pins and holes. So the figure moves when I turned the base to take pics.......

    I'll be carefull when I'll glue the figure to the base, after finishing painting :)

    Hi again :)

    Here a small update :

    [IMG]

    I started the paint session with glazes of Burnt Umber and Cassel Earth to emphazis and make easier reading of the shades.

    And then, even with the glazes not dry, I started to paint some rocks.

    My color mix are :

    -BASE : Raw Umber + Titanium White + few UltramarBlue.
    -Lights : Flesh Teint, Titanium White.
    -Shades : Burnt Umber + Greenish Umber + few Burnt Sienna + few Deep Blue

    To make the rocks looks less poor, I will paint some rock (few) with a different base mix color : Raw Umber + Titanuim White + Burnt Sienna.

    I nearly paint one rock after another........ longer, but better result (I hope)......

    Of course, when all the base will be finished, and also the figure, I will still add some dusts and pastels.

    You can notice that the figure is not finished. There is some minors preparations and fixing....
