75mm, Sergeant, 79th Highlanders

[Sascha Herm]

Hi all,

please forgive me if I am not sharing these picture in the right forum but I am so excited to have finished my first large scale Miniature in 16 years after concentrating on so many 28mm figures during that time.

I must admit that I had to adjust my painting techniques quite a bit as I did not needed to over exaggerate shadows and highlights as I would normally do for the smaller scales. I really enjoyed it and there are two more figures from the same Manufacturer on my table too that will be tackled soon.

The figure is a 75mm Miniature from Alexandros Models and was painted mainly in Acrylics. I used paints from various Ranges, i.e. Andrea, Reaper MP Triads, GW / Citadel, Foundry and Coat d' Arms Triads.

I decided to hold back on the weathering as I could not get me to dust or dirty him more. I also depicted a dryer, dustier patch of earth he is standing on which meant I only lightly dusted the shoes of him. I know it was a little bit wetter at Waterloo but I just did not wanted to start muddying and darken everything.

Here are some pictures and a link to more Pictures.
