Along with the Austrian officers I painted the second batch of Shos excellent Russian staff and generals for 1812 – Borodino, those figures are full of character and excellently researched as well, I hope I did not committ too many mistakes – horses by AB

Amazing figures and painting…I can't believe they're only 18s! |

I can honestly say I have never seen 15's look that good. Wow! |

Top painting VW, you have really brought them to life. Who done a great job sculpting these guys for us! |
| baxterj | 23 Nov 2015 4:09 a.m. PST |
They look great VW. How do you do your horses – oils? |
| von Winterfeldt | 23 Nov 2015 5:30 a.m. PST |
horses a base coat with hobby acrylics (usually a light colour, like dark skin) – then a glaze with artist watercolours – and for highlights I use a wet brush and take some artist water colours off, works well for browns, for white and blacks, the usual highlighting with acrylics |

I do love your paintwork vW But a question – do you think the horses are big enough? Som guys look like they are on ponies |
| von Winterfeldt | 24 Nov 2015 12:56 a.m. PST |
@Marc the plastic fan Thanks for your feed back.
For horses see TMP link our view of horse heights is very much distorted by obstacle jumping horse – Hollywood and a lot of miniatures which show enormously sized horses – a light cavalry horse of about 145 cm height was not unusual, a heavy cavalry horse of 155 cm as well, look at contemporary artists work |

I will defer to your knowledge. Worth it for the paintwork alone. Truly inspirational |

Beautiful paintwork, well done |

Sho Boki suggested that I should replace my 15 year old camera with a new one – here some first shots with it – do the figures come over better? Reminder – quite blown up, still otherwise how to show the detailed sculpting??

Damn, I knew your figures were good, but now we can see them properly they are truly GOOD!! |
Sho Boki  | 29 Nov 2015 2:55 p.m. PST |
Yes, new camera is better. After von Winterfeldt will be use RAW format, pictures may be even better. But even JPG have enough details and color information fot net by own.
