Thank you Bessiere and Chris for your support. Here's an update on yesterday's work on my Pavlograd Hussar.
Let me look at my photos, include a few and add comments as i proceed to copy and paste.
First and foremost i began painting his horse. Opted for a dappled grey. Used primarily Ivory Black and Titanium White with a few little flecks of Yellow Ochre here and there.
Next up is his pelisse to which i have added the red braiding. Zvezda's sculpting is outstanding but it's still a tricky job at this scale. Need to touch up the fur and add the buttons.......
Now the colours have been established i need to get my optivisor out to add the dapples to the horse along with the shading/highlighting to the saddlecloth and buckles and details on the reins. I must say I'm greatly looking forward to seeing this finished figure mounted and based.
