Hi all,
I thought I share with you some pictuers of my latest project. A collector asked me to create a mini Vignette that incorporates the special Edition George Washington from Perry Miniatures (only available as part of a Deal when you buy 3 boxes of the Plastic AWI infantry). The other two are from Wargames Foundry. They are a little bit chunkier but they are a pleasure to paint. Below is what I came up with.
I wanted to give the impression that George Washington is surveying a Battlefield whilst getting a report from one of his soldiers. I used a fence from Dixon Miniatures as a sort of "backdrop" for the scene.
The white horse took me three different attempts before I found a mix I liked. I used Scale75's Black & White Paint Set. In particular I used a mix of Rainy Gray, Thar Brown, Mojave White and pure White. I added more white for the highlights and used a few glazes with Rainy Gray to dull it down a little and used thinned pure white as a final highlight last.
I used Andrea's Blue Paint set for all the uniforms but I only used the 3rd Highlight colour sparingly in a mix with the second one. I used to paint most blue Uniforms with Foundry's "French Blue" but find myself using Andrea's more and more. I just prefer the matt look on the Andrea or Scale75 paints.

I hope you like it. All comments are welcome.
Kind regards
