Hello,
I figure since I have been talking about Historex, maybe I should show my last Historex projects. I am not a great photographer, so please know that I did my best.
#1 Chasseur a Pied de la Garde Officer ca. 1815
This is my first completed historical miniature ever. In fact, it is the first completed model of any kind that I have ever built. I finished this project about a year or so ago. This Historex kit was heavily converted using Aves putty, paper, lead foil, thin gauge wire, and styrene. I used my airbrush to primer him in acrylic, and he was then finished in artist's tube oils.
#2 French Line Infantry Officer ca. 1805
This was my second project. It depicts a French Line Infantry Officer circa 1805. This figure was built from my Historex "spares" box. I added a lot of little details using Aves (mainly for hair and braiding), lead foil, paper, and styrene. He was primered with my airbrush using acrylics, and finished in artist's tube oils.
#3 Royal Italian Trumpeter (1st Chasseurs a Cheval) ca. 1807
This is my third project. I also built this from Historex spare parts, adding lots of extra details with Aves, lead foil, styrene, thin gauge wire, and paper. He was primered with my airbrush using acrylics, and finished using artist's oils.
