Crusaders vignette 1/72

Some months ago the guys of valdemar miniatures contacted me and were so generous to send me some of their 1/72 medieval figures. It are excellent sculpted metal figures with great details and they are about 25mm high. I´ve never painted figures in this scale so one of my projects for next year will be to make a vignette with these figures. Still have to think about the setting and colors.

Cheers,

Merry Christmas!

I wish everybody a Merry Christmas!

More progress

I have made some progress on the figure. Not as much as I had planned, but I was too busy at work these days. I'm still fine tuning the transitions on the face and added some more contrast on the hair.

Furthermore I started shadowing and highlighting the surcoat and added a dragon which still needs some more corrections. The next steps are finishing the flesh part and the surcoat. Here are the last pictures I post before Christmas.

Cheers,
Marcel.

The head almost finished

 The last two weeks I was so busy finishing a report for work and buying presents for the yearly 'Sint Nicolaas' that I didn't had enough time and energy to paint a lot. But I managed to get the hair done. First I painted her blond but it didn't suit very well so I changed it to red. I did some work on the mail and did the first highlights and shadow of the surcoat. I hope to find some more time the coming weeks but Christmas is arriving rapidly. And still all the presents have to be bought.

Here are the pictures of the current status.

Cheers,

Marcel.
