Husar de San Narciso finished

And the second figure for project Girona is also finished. I resculpted the flag in one that is hanging. And also changed the type of stones of the wall. The paintjob was done in record time for me of three weeks. I still wanted to change some small changes but there was simple no time left and the two figures are on the way to the exposition. Well here are the pictures of the figure placed on the basework.

Cheers,
Marcel.

Dragoon finished

Finally the dragoon is finished. I added the sword and painted the socks and some details that were missing. I also added some dust on the boots and other parts of the figure like the elbows. The wood and stones of the basework also recieved some paint and now he is ready to go to the exposition.

Cheers,
Marcel.

Figure almost finished

The figure is almost finished now. Yesterday evening I increased the contrast on the white because I was feeling there was a not enough contrast. I also painted the boots and the rest of the laces. Now it's time to glue the figure together and mount it on its base. Add the last details and do some touch ups on the paintwork were the parts are glued together. And the last thing to paint is the flag. Not much time left so this has to go fast. Hopefully I won't break anything during mounting or damage the paintwork. Wouldn't be the first time. I keep my fingers crossed. Here are the pictures of the painted figure.

Cheers,
Marcel.

Update on the Hussar

The last two weeks I spend almost every available hour on painting the figure painting until late in the evening. When it's finished I'm going to sleep for a week. By now I finished the face and are almost done with the white jacket and brown trousers. Now I have to paint the boots the blue collar and his sword and glue the piece together. Yesterday I also spend some time in painting the base work. Still a lot of work to do but I keep my fingers crossed hopping to finish it in time.

Cheers,
Marcel.

Husar face almost done!

I primed the figure and started painting the face first as I usual do. First I added all the rough highlights and shadows and afterwards these were blended together. The colors I used for the face are brown sand, basic skin tone, burnt cad. red and some brown rose, red and black. Still some work has to be done on the ears and hair. And some little beard grown on the chin has to be added. Here are the two first pictures of the face.
After this I will work on the white shirt. This is always a difficult color to get right. But hopefully I can find some time to paint and I don't run into to many problems and show some new progress pictures soon.

Cheers,
Marcel.
