I have added some more pictures to the WIP page of my new Vignette. The coat and the Trousers have been painted with Foundry again ("British Red Coat" & "Slate Grey"). I like the Foundry paints due to the fact that they make highlighting and shading so easy but I hate their glossy finish. It does make it sometimes difficult to see the detail of the sculpt, especially if you paint underneath a strong daylight bulb as I do. The resulting reflection can distract a bit from the parts I need to paint; or it might be me just getting a bit on now and my eyesight is not as good as it used to be, lol. That is one of the Reasons I use first GW Chaos Black to basecoat all figures, followed by Andrea's or Scale75 Matt Black.
The sash around the Officers waist was painted with Reaper's Gold Ochre. I used Scale75 Golden NMM paint set for the Piping, but kept the highlights to a minimum. The Trooper one's were painted with Foundry's "Ochre" plus a final highlight with "Yellow Light C"
I also changed the Drummers hair colour, as the old version was an attempt to represend blonde hair but I did not liked the way it looked. I painted it now with Foundry's "Buff Leather" which I prefer more.
The matt varnish will dull some colours but also define others a lot better once applied which I prefer a lot.
I hope to finish them today. I will varnish tomorrow and start to base them straight after.
Here is the link to some more pictures, the new ones are further down the page: link
I hope you like the look of them so far. Any comments are welcome.
Kind regards
