"...And it was used by the wagon and carriage drivers, to protect their heads and ears from rain." |
The infantryman was undercoated using a mixture of "Citadel" Abaddon Black and Vallejo Surface Primer Black, before his numerous leather straps were slowly layered with "Two Thin Coats" White Star. These areas were later 'weathered' with some heavily watered-down "Citadel" Agrax Earthshade.
"Originally, the unit had been raised as Grenadiers of the Royal Guard of Holland in 1806." |
Finally, 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.
"Black Site Studios" WIPs - These three Soviet Cosmonauts' equipment is being 'picked out' |
Furthermore, I've manage to put a brush-tip to the three remaining Soviet Cosmonauts I own by "Black Site Studios". Due to the very straightforward colour scheme I've selected for these Russian astronauts, the vast majority of the resin miniatures is actually now completed - leaving me with just their various weapons and equipment to finish off before they're tabletop ready...
Great work on both of the Napoleonic's Simon, and the Cosmonaut's shouldn't take long to finish now.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. Two of the Cosmonauts are already finished, LOL!!
DeleteAnother great looking Napoleonic's !
ReplyDeleteCheers Michal.
DeleteTwo more great looking Napoleonic models, you really are cranking them out! Those cosmonauts look great and I especially like the way you have painted those shields to look like parts from spacecraft. More great looking minis!
ReplyDeleteThanks Undercoat. I'm slowly getting through my French so I have similarly-sized forces for Black Powder. I do like the Russian astronaut sculpts. Loads of pieces to stick in their hands to make them unique.
