1812 Old Guard
« on: March 10, 2015, 07:29:00 PM »
Inspired by recent events at Tactica in Hamburg I painted up a nice little Perry. Having seen what others have done with the same figures I almost feel ashamed for not showing a unit as I don't feel this has the quality worthy of a 'singly figure photo'. But aaaanyway:







I am going to paint 5 more (rest of the pack) and a good 6 Russian farmers.

I tried not to exaggerate the colours/highlighting to fantasy levels.

My goodness does he look cold. I love the pale skin - it really carries the mood across. The overall paint scheme looks quite nice; I prefer the more realistic coloring myself on historical miniatures. May I ask what paint colors you are using for your blue overcoat? (it's just the right shade I've been trying to achieve on some naval figures)

Again, great job! Keep us updated on his friends...

Oh but I am! It just takes me forever to finish a miniature when I am working on more than one in a go.  lol
I suspect a crew will fire their guns end of next week.

I bought a Wargames Foundry set called Prussian Blue at Tactica and used some of that. I haven't really tried Foundry before but I found them to be quite good. I mixed a bit and arrived at the result here.   :)

Really nice work - I love this campaign, and the Perry brothers for bringing it all to life.
