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.

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.

Standardbearer-Royal Guard Grenadeers

I've made a bit more progress on the standardbearer. Painted the base colors and started highlighting ans shadowing the blue and white parts. The blue parts still needs more shadows and blending. The waist part from the white is almost done. The lower part needs more shading and blending.

Sculpture - Ultonia Regiment 1808

I have made some progress with my sculpture. Sculpted the arms and hands and also sculpted the hair with a mix of Duro and Magic Sculpt.
I'm not satisfied with the right arm and I will change it.

Standardbearer-Royal Guard Grenadeers

This is my next project on my workbench.
It's the standardbearer from the Royal Guard Grenadeers from the Kingdom of Naples, 1812.
An excellent casting with hardly andy moldlines.
The great figure is sculpted by Maurizio Bruno. With the Box-art painted by Danilo.

I started painting the face first as usual and after several hours of work it's almost done. Still have to correct some errors.
Next I will finish the bearskin.

Thanks for looking!

Marcel.

Sculpture - Ultonia Regiment 1808

I started figure sculpting some months ago after the WE 2008.
This is my first 54mm figure and it's scratch build with Magic Sculpt and Duro.
The subject is a soldier from the Ultonia Regiment 1808. This are some pictures of the current status.

This is the last figure I finished. A 54mm figure from Elite called Norman Knight. The figure is painted with Vallejo Acrylics, the heraldry is painted free-hand. The basework is made from cork and milliput and painted with earth colors.
