My Perry Norwegian Landevaern 1801 - 1808

[Sascha Herm]

Hi all,

After painting these nearly a year ago, the Perry Twins only recently released their Danish Landwehr Troops. I am now able to show you some more detailed pictures of the figures I painted for them. Apart from the usual casting issues, they were a pleasure to paint. Very colourful troops and the darker red was a nice change to the more muted one I use for my British or the Blue for the French.

I hope you like them.

Please follow the links for more pictures.

  Fantastic work as usual from you Sascha. Did you do something different with your white pants this time around, as I notice the shadows look different (in a very good way). Do tell...

No not really, just spend a bit more time on it making sure there were very smooth transitions 

I usually start to paint the white parts with Foundry's "Arctic Grey" triad, straight out of the pots without any intermediate mixes.
I apply now a glaze using a 1:1 mix of shade A & B (with a drop of Vallejo Glaze Medium - best stuff ever) over the trousers which will dull all stark transitions between the layers. Using a 1:2 mix of black and the A shade, I paint now the deepest shadows and also seams. I re-apply now a 1:1 mix of B & White as a intermediate highlight, followed by white on its own. As a final highlight I use GW White Scar (which is a bit brighter than Foundry's White) for the edges of all creases and seams.

Not the quickest process as I do sometimes repeat some steps again to smoothen the different transitions but it looks great at the end IMO ;-)

Well I hope the above makes some sense.

Kind regards

Sascha
