I simply love your painting style! It has something of old oilpaintings on canvas, works great for the topic!

It has been an age since I visited the forum.
Having not picked up a brush in over a year, my attentions in life have been elsewhere.
But.
A few minutes admiring your work again is pushing up the stairs to the dusty painting erie.
Superb as ever.
You take creating and painting toy soldiers to a whole different level.

[Stuart]

Glad to help, I frequently have lows in inspiration and LAF is generally the remedy

Well that's great news 

[Stuart]

Did this one a while ago and just got round to painting him, the cod piece and arms I've done better since but he's still OK.

[Atheling]

Nice mate 

Darrell.

I have be looking over all of yours and Captain Blood's posts.
Excellent work, some of the best painting one could wish to see.
So I went and ordered some Perry's to paint.
The ordering was ez, now painting them might be a little tougher.
Thank you both for sharing your talents.

[Captain Blood]

Another great little character Stuart.

Marine0846, persevere with those Perry figures. You'll find them addictive once you've built a few 

[Stuart]

These two have taken a while to get to a stage of satisfaction. First up a rather dandy looking crossbowman in a base coat with slashed sleeves and wide brimmed plumes hat.

[Stuart]

Next a light cavalryman, I'll probably use him as a standard bearer. It may not look that hard but the arms were an absolute arse to get right ! I think this is attempt no. 6. Each slash is sculpted seperately and manipulated to the right angle and drop of the cloth. It took a while to get this right. I originally started with adding green stuff then cutting the slashed bits away but it was too heavy and clumsy. This way have a much more convincing feel and has some body to it.

[Stuart]

Very pleased with him though, I'm no expert but I don't think sleeves like this would be possible or rather could be very difficult to cast effectively. It's great to be able to achieve individuality in this way.
