link I think these are 28mm figures. Amazing in all respects. I may just melt my stuff, and send he metal to Remington, Winchester and the others! GdeP |

If I had 28's I'd melt them all down. |

His faces might be good but some of his Union flags are quite wrong. |

By which I mean, of course, "I am incredibly jealous of his ability"

Angel has a tutorial on his blog page, the crazy thing is he does great faces it in 1/72nd also. Great for dioramas, too much work for a army |

Meh. I could do that anytime I want. I just choose not to. Seriously, absolutely fabulous job! |

Recognisably Oniria style. Their Old Guard in Plancenoit were surely by the same artist? I think this is the chap; link |

As I have stated previously, there are artists and there are painters, I'm a painter. Most artists are painting up a few figures and spend lots of time on each one. I want armies on the table, thus if it looks decent enough. I've painted almost 1000 Calpe Prussians. |

I can't find the face painting tutorial |

The original link sends me to a Google search results page with the work of many many different painters. |

Who was the guy back in the day? He did last stand at Gondarmak or some such Godforsaken place in Afghanistan….he did the most incredible faces, but in larger scale of course Late 70s……….. Was it Shep Paine? Was it Bill Horan? |

Eyes? Highlights? Those are for people with a steady hand and actual eyesight worth a damn :) For me it is Flesh colour, then a wash. Seriously though – incredible work. |

I also reason with 15mm's at 3 feet that level of painting is wasted. |

I assume this was the image in question?
Not that hard to do, just time-consuming. I'd hate to do it to Napoleonics, where I need to paint hundreds of dudes to that standard. |

Without wanting to take away from the undoubted skill involved, those look like kids' TV cartoon faces to me. |
| Flashman14 | 17 Sep 2016 6:38 p.m. PST |
It helps if the face is sculpted well too. |

Victrix faces are very…distinctive shall we say? Not always the most handsome of visages. Mind you we have laughed about a couple of Murawski figures suggesting they needed to widen the gene pool somewhat…. |

@Lion, no the original picture is very different Highlander image : The eyes are wrong, but the highlight placement on the face is really nice It is this kind of thing that made me realise I didn't want to do Napoleonics in 28mm :) The eyes should have less white showing, and the socket colour should be a little darker and a little cooler. The eyes are a little too large, but getting rid of most of the white will fix that. John |
