Second Empire Officer of Engineers
This Is my recently completed 65mm French Officer of Engineers during the Second Empire. He sat in the "kits to finish" pile for so long, I've forgotten the manufacturer. I used oils for all my painting. For the silver braid I used the old SNJ polishing powder mixed with Liquin and shaded with green and gray oils.
If I send you all my unpainted pilot/crew figures, will you paint 'em for me...? 🙁 lol
Sure! Send all of 'em! No guarantees on when you'd get 'em back, lol. Thanks for the compliment.
The entiee figure looks great, but I just need to say I love the texture and shading on the pants. Very life-like
Agreed!
Thanks Tom! I admire your work immensely so a compliment from you means a lot to me.
Thanks for the compliment! I have to say I'm most satisfied with the pants. Since I have a visual color deficit, grays often turn out the best for me.
Very nice, Scott. I also use oils, but often in combination with acrylics. Is the figure resin or white metal? If the later I'd guess Andrea as manufacturer. Anyway, nice job.
Thanks Rob. The figure is metal. I've looked through a bunch of online catalogues and still can't find the manufacturer. Oh, well. I'll run across the box one of these days.
Very nice !
Thanks Phil. I do appreciate the compliment.
Very nice, as already mentioned, the shading is very good.
I appreciate the compliment George. Thanks!
Great job, it takes skill to make this figure come to life.
Thanks Mike. You should see all the lousy figures I painted before I developed that "skill!" Lol
Bro this is epic
