Hi everybody, it's been a veeerrrry long time since I posted (++)

I'm currently having a craving for Napoleonic figures, so I went and bought 1 to just try my hand. Here's a pic of my work in progress - would love your comments and advice This is my 1st Napoleonic figure, and I've only painted the face, so please be gentle I've posted 3 of the pics in my gallery under the folder "Napoleonic figure" and if anybody is interested, I'll post more in-progress pics

Thanks!
Alan

Yo Floog !

Your first time painting larger scale figures ?!!!!!
Dasyat !!! Raising the bar is good for our community.
So happened I'm halfway through a 1/6 scale plaster recast bust myself but have to finish a 1/48 Tuskegee Airmen Mustang first. Battle stations !!!!!

Great work, compadre !

It's a 200mm Verlinden bust I got on discount. If this turns out ok, I think I will go buy some 120mm Verlinden figures to further try my hands on

I just finished painting the helmet, and will post further work in progress pics soon..I think I'm going to have problems painting the leopard skin print (which covers part of the helmet)....

Cheers

Hiya Sil,

Sorry about the delay in replying - I've been really busy these days with work, and also I have a lot of other modelling projects to finish LOL

Wahh...8 to 10 figures ah? What scale? I can help, but only if you can wait...got to finish a number of figures at the moment for some people

Cheers
Alan
