Hi everyone

Great to be back after a aweful bout of illness so trying to catch up with things .....

Following on from the WIP here https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/1st-rhode-island-regt-from-tfb-miniatures.511504/

Next on bench alongside commissions ( secret atm ! )

Queens Ranger -AWI



Quite a plain bust as such so.......I did the following alterations

Reduced the height of headwear ...purely visual but happier

Reduced and reshaped the plume and feather

Removed the right hand cockade

Added a band around lower back of helmet

Removed all lacing and replaced it ...pics to follow

Detailed up epaulettes ....pics to follow

References :





...last for shaping only

Currently Iffyvision pictures present .....

Click on pics for larger images if you wish

Basecoated ......hopefully will look even better ( after these pics reworked the eyebrows )



Stay tuned

Happy benchtime

Hope to get going on this ...inbetween shopping !

Happy benchtime

Cheers for the comment , headwear is unusual , trying to show the officers clothing as info the original uniform ( not possible to add the fringes to epaulettes )
...still not sure ref that plume angle !

Not the easiest of uniforms to add interest to but it's very early days on him

Cheers Steve , hope to get some more done ...along with a commission ! ......oh and inbetween the festive season !

Happy benchtime

Hi Steve

At the moment , very rough basecoating , will tidy it up before progressing , the expression is interesting , going to be a challenge ...for me at least with just green and black to work with ...but will come together for sure

I've now repositioned the plume to level it up

Hope to get to the bench today ........inbetween trying to remove Carole from the shops ...lol ...bless

Hi Henk


Plume is better straight, so happier with that , once all lacework painted properly will look a lot better ! , green will be a lot different , this is only a very base colour

Thanks for looking in

Happy benchtime

Vallejo US Green , then a 50/50 mix of that plus P3 Gnarls Green .......but still a base colour

Thanks for looking in

Happy benchtime

Cheers ...been working on the uniform colour and epaulettes more , looking different and hopefully not too vibrant .....will take Iffyvision pic soon

Next will be the green on plume , the headwear green band

Also have added a hint of a sash .....putty drying overnight ....will add that little bit of additional red/ scarlet colour against the waistcoat and the black/green

You too keep sharing those wonderful figures

Hi

Quick pic update

About 80% finished the green on uniform and epaulettes ....lacework still to do

Basecoated the sash I added ....adds a little bit more interest against the green etc

Also been reworking a Harry Patch commission inbetween

Thanks for looking in

Little bit of a update on the Ranger , plume and cockade (less button) completed , next will be feather , then the actual helmet

This is interesting to paint as not much actual colour , so hopefully will get this looking okay !

All thoughts welcome

Happy benchtime
