update on Joseph Steck

Here is a little update on the figure. I corrected the shoulders and the waist of the figure and started sculpting the jacket. Still have several corrections to do and start adding the details on the jacket.
Here are the pictures.

A little update on the Templar Knight

I have made a little progress on the knight. The left side of the face (viewer right) is blended. The right eye still needs to be corrected and I have to blend the right side. Also I did some additional work on the chain mail. I applied more shadows with black and smoke and toned down the excessive highlights.

Cheers,
Marcel.

Aide de Camp next step

Here is the next update on my ADC sculpture.
I started sculpting the trousers and the boots. I'm not total satified, still have to do some corrections. The next step will be the sculpting of the jacket.
Here are the photos.

Napoleonic Sculpture

I have started a few new sculptures. And this is one of them. This will be a napoleonic figure, if everything turns out well it will be an Aide de Camp. It's a 54mm figure with a head used from Pegaso. The rest of the figure will be scratch build. Here are some first pictures of the pose.

Templar first brush strokes

Here are some pictures of the first brush strokes on the Templar Knight.
The rough shadows and highlights are painted on the face. Now all the layers have to be blended. And also the eyes need to be corrected.

English Standard Bearer

Here is one of the next figures I'm also working on. It's an 54mm English Standard Bearer from Pegaso. I started the basecoat already some months ago but yesterday I found some time to finished the face. Next step will be the painting of the coat.

Thanks for looking and here are the pictures.

Templar Knight 1150

This is one of my next projects I will start painting very soon.
The sculpture is made by my friend Steve Readdie and I'm going to paint it as a Templar Knight 1150, white clothing with a red cross. Here are some pictures of the sculpture.

Standardbearer Finished

Last night I did the last brushstrokes on the figure.
The flag was the last part I had to paint. I spend some time to get this blue color look good.
The groundwork is a bit poor but I´m planning to make a little vignette with this figure next year.
This was a great figure to paint, up to my next project.

Cheers,
Marcel.

update standardbearer

I have finished the braid work and also the head and fixed it on the torso.
I'm not totally satisfied with the highlight of the lighter blue. Maybe I'm going to change it. The next steps are finishing the white trousers and arms. And fix the arms to the figure.

Marcel.

Standardbearer - Royal Guard Grenadeers

I have made some more progress on the figure. I painted the blue color a bit darker and also changed the color of the highlights. In the front still some extra highlights have to be added. I also added more shadows on the trousers and started painting the braid work. At the back most of it is done now. Still need to correct some parts and add some additional shadows. And I painted the highlights and shadows of the reds. But here is also a bit more work to do.
