Hi all,
I have just uploaded pictures of my latest project. A commission for a collector from Spain. It is one of the Perry's brilliant special Waterloo Vignettes they produced for the 200th Anniversary. It was a joy to paint. I used mostly the Foundry triad paints for the figures.
For Sgt.Charles Ewart, Scots Greys, I used 'British Red Coat' for his jacket but I added 'Dark Green' and 'Scorched Brown' as an additional shade. I also used a little 'Fiery Orange' and 'Elves Flesh' to highlight the red more effectively, his Trousers were painted with 'Slate Grey'. The Horse was painted using a mix of 'Vallejo White', a little 'English Uniform' and a small amount of black as a base. I used more black for the darker speckles and added more white for the lighter speckles with a sponge. Even more white was used as a very diluted mix to highlight all the raised areas but I kept the overall look of the horse more on the grey side.
I cut the lance pole from Ewart's hand and used a steal spear, as I found the original too short to fit the GMB flag. The Eagle was salvaged and used from the original pole. I also replaced his sword with a flattened paperclip which I filed to shape. The paperclip had more strength as the provided pewter one, as it kept bending.
The Lancers Uniform was painted using 'French Dragoon Green' but with additional shading by adding black and 'Scorched Brown' to the 'A' colour. The Foot Soldiers Coat was painted using 'Rawhide' but I also used additional shading. For the shako cover I used 'Buff Leather'.
The French Officers Uniform was the only one painted with Andrea's Blue Paint set. His Roll around his shoulder was painted with 'Slate Grey'. Both French Trousers were painted with 'Artic Grey' but with additional shading.
