    I have achieved some progress on the Polish Hussar. I will be more than happy to hear what you think.

    Here are some pictures:

    Thanks guys. For the metals I have used Alclad II steel and duraluminum. Than ivory black for shading plus humbrol silver for highlighting edges.

    Coming along nicely. Love the leopard skin cape... Care to share how you did this?
    Have a Russian Hussar with a similar cape in my grey army. I'd be grateful for your help on this.

    Thanks gents.

    For the leopard skin I have used a mix of yellow ochre, dark flesh, flat yellow and white from vallejo model color as a basecoat. Than I mix different shades of oils from burnt umber, burnt sienna, naples yellow light and white from W&N. Dots with Ivory black and burnt sienna. At the end I discovered that burnt sienna is slightly little do red and dark for dots.

    For the lining of the fur I have used Vallejo mix of reds 70947 and 70926, highlighted later with red 70947 and shadowed with black green.

    Guys, I forgot to include a yellow ochre from W&N to the oil mix for the fur.

    Was it airbrushed over glossy black primer ?
    i heard some people brushing it in with good results
    I'm really looking for the perfect way to render metals since my rwgular vallejo metallics are not quite good
    I would like to try vallejo air metallics. Seems to be doing a great job
    thanks!

    Here is a little progress. Finished wings and some works on the banner, which is extremaly difficult. I consider reds and whites on the flag finished, but if there is something you would like to point it out, please do not hesitate.

    I like your painting a lot. Very rich colors, soft transitions, clean and precise technique. The phto is perfect. I like the subject too. Last week I finished one of this mounted.
    Cheers.
