Some progress ....

Nothing is finished and I need to do some more work on the tunic, especially his left arm.

Further progress....

Detail painting is under-way on the top half of our fellow. Still not entirely happy with some areas of the tunic so they will need work...

fanbloodytastic Mark!!

I love your painting and the confidence to add such contrast to skin tones which is very difficult to master.

Carl ... Cheers! Grey trousers ....

Dave ... Many thanks! The high contrast is not to everyone's taste but I really enjoy pushing it as far as possible ( for me )

Water bottle, powder horn and various fittings well on the way! Trousers are brush painted and about 40% done

Fantastic work so far Mark, looks like you are on a roll with these Napoleonic figures.


Cheers David

Thank you David I must admit that I can really see the appeal of Napoleonic figures


Details and finishes .....

Work continues on the various fittings and the pants are about 95% done, head and right arm are fixed in place and need a tiny line of filler

White balance is slightly off on this shot

Cracking job on the green tunic Mark

Steve

great job Mark as always

Steve .... Cheers mate!

Simon ... Many thanks

Carl ... Thanks again! You know me and details


Work on the Baker rifle is about finished and it's blu-tacked for a try-out on position. I used NMM for the rifle and kept it pretty high contrast with a gloss finish to pick up environmental light ..... Bucket woods are almost finished too

Yes but clear or muddy, if it represents the morning of the battle of Waterloo it would be clear as it rained heavily the night before, however if it's during or after the battle I would suggest a more...................
Mark excellent painting and following.

Cheers Ken

Very funny Carl and Ken ... You could start a double act ...


Slow progress this week as I've had a holiday so been mucking about gardening, walking and doing personal projects...

However I did the sling on the rifle. Textured pastel paper as always with a stretched sprue and Vallejo Acrylic putty buckle ... and a bit of a better white balance
