Title: Lieutenant-General Stapleton Cotton
Post by: Sascha Herm on May 21, 2016, 05:52:03 PM
Hi all,

I just added some pictures of my new creation onto my website. It is an older Mark Coppleston Sculpt, which is suppose to represent Lieutenant-General Stapleton Cotton. I rather like the Miniature and the sculpt is nice and crips too.

Please click on the following link for more pictures: http://www.sascha-herm.com/Gen-Stapleton-Cotton01.htm

I used the "sponge" technique to represent a "flea bitten" grey on the Horse. I started with a basecoat of light grey by mixing White with a little bit of MSP Shadowed Stone & Weathered Stone. With the sponge I added a darker shade using a mix of Black, Shadowed Stone and White. I added now the lighter specks by mixing more white to the Base Colour. I used a mix of pure White and Valejo Retarder Medium in a Ratio of 4:1 to apply more highlights.

The Blue Uniform was painted using Foundry's French Blue Triad. I used Reaper's MSP Blood Red Triad for the red parts. The Brown Fur parts were painted using Coat d'arms Brown Leather Triad.

I will probable add the figure onto Ebay in a few days time.

I hope you like him  ;)

All comments are very welcome

Kind regards

Sascha
