A beautiful job all round.

Do you apply the non metal paint application for your metal work?

On this figure Helen, yes I did. Though I use "real" metallics too. Just depends on the figure and what I'm aiming for. For small details I often find that NMM is actually easier. And when I use "real" metallics, I paint all of the metal parts first as I find those little flakes of silver or gold get everywhere. :-[

The gloves were painted in my "usual" fashion for white starting from a dark grey. On this occasion I left slightly more of the base colour showing on the gloves in order to stand out from the pants and the horse. :)

Title: Re: Napoleon, First Consul
Post by: Matakakea on February 22, 2010, 05:53:23 PM: Very nice! It also makes a change from the more commonly depicted Emperor Napoleon in the grey coat.
Now, I believe there was a request for a couple of battalions to accompany him :D
