Finished the face

The progress on this figure is a bit slowed down due to the other projects I'm currently working on. But I found a bit of time and here is a little update.
I wasn't satisfied about the color of the eyes so I have redone them.
Also did a bit more blending on the cheeks and a bit toning of the hair.
And I worked on the breast plate of the figure, it still needs a bit more deep shadow. At the moment I'm painting the pattern on the jacket but I'm not very satisfied how it looks. So maybe I'm going to change it.

Here some photos.

Update Templar Knight

I went a week on vacation and took this figure and a few bottles of paint with me. And started painting the white surecoat. This time I was aiming for a bit different color than I had done in the other figures before. For the base a mixture of white, green and brown were used. Highlights done with more off-white and shadows with more brown and black. Most of the blending is done on the front of the figure, the back still needs some additional blending. Next steps will be finishing the white surcoat, face and chainmail.

Starting with the details

The last days I had some time to sculpt a bit more on this figure. So I lengthen the backside of the jacket a little because it was a bit on the short side. And I started adding details on the front and backside of the figure. I wanted to try out different putties so the details were done using duro and milliput. The next steps will be adding more details and adding the belts to the figure.

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.

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.

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.
