200mm Chasseur a Cheval of the Guard *pics*

Hi, Just another figure I put together.  This one took about the same amount of time as the Tamiya 1/16 German Elite figure.  It's from Verlinden.  I tried a few new things with this figure in regards to the base.  The base is actually cast resin but I was able to achieve a real wood look from it with the way I laid the base color down and subsequent inks on top.  I was pretty happy with the way this one assembled.  Virtually no screwing around with fixing a sculptor or casters mistakes.  The watch chain on the side was a piece of funky gold rope I purchased at Michael's for like 20 cents.  I ran a chestnut ink over it to give it depth.  The only thing I think I would change on this would be the protective coating I put on after it was done.  I was hoping for more of a flat look, but it came out more semi gloss.  A little irritating, but I can live with it.  I have a second one of these that I'll incorporate the changes into when I do it.  Hope you enjoy.

Excellent work on the eyes and the braid.

It may be washed out in the flash, but it looks like you dould use a bit more shading and highlighting.

The foam based shrubs really don't work in this scale. The make the figure look like a giant.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Very nice painting.  As you noted, maybe a bit too glossy, but otherwise looks real good.

Regards,  Rick
