"...The Pokalem could be fastened under the chin." |
The infantryman was initially undercoated using a mixture of "Citadel" Abaddon Black and Vallejo Surface Primer Black, before his various leather straps were slowly layered with "Two Thin Coats" White Star. These areas were subsequently shaded with some heavily watered-down "Citadel" Agrax Earthshade.

Furthermore, I gave the weapon's bayonet a quick dry-brush of (more) "Vallejo Gunmetal to help it stand out, and carefully applied a combination of Heavy Blue and "Citadel" Drakenhof Nightshade to the Fusilier's headwear. The hat was finished off with a dry-brush of (more) "Vallejo" Heavy Blue. Whilst I doused the soldier's coat in "Citadel" Nuln Oil, and carefully dry-brushed the garment with (more) "Vallejo" Sombre Grey.

In addition, I simply haven't been able to resist doing a little work on the four British Grenadiers I aim to get tabletop ready during November. These days I really like settling down with a miniature which has already been half-started in some manner or another, so I wanted to get some basic colours on a handful of these models from packet B041 Late Line Infantry Flank Company Shouldered Arms - as well as pilot two different techniques for working my way up their white and red palette...
Great work on all your Napoleonic's Simon
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave.
DeleteOnto the Brits now!!! Cool!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Ray. Though the four British grenadiers are my little Napoleonic project for Nov - I just couldn't resist getting some colours on them over the past few days.
DeleteBeautiful work as always!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal. Much appreciated.
DeleteAnother great looking model for your French force. I really like those caps! I can't wait to see a redcoat come to life as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Undercoat. The Redcoats are scheduled to be finished through November. So fingers crossed they'll be completed then.
