Now you just need to paint a couple of battalions to stand behind him :D

Love the coat colour, Malcolm.
A beautiful job all round.

Lovely brushwork OT, especially on the horse.

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

Thanks everyone.  Glad you like it.

No battalions.   lol

How unfair!  This is my second.   ;)  :D

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.   :)
