Then I trace edges etc with GW wash "gryphonne sepia", and high light with Vallejo 913 again, mixed with a little (ratio 2 to 10) beige/sand color.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by for a comment, it's an honor for the Guard to have such a prominent guest :0)Black Powderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811405795071310375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083471581529421888.post-91656654159216861852015-05-04T14:26:10.581-07:002015-05-04T14:26:10.581-07:00Needless to say, your brushwork is outstanding (an...Needless to say, your brushwork is outstanding (and the figures are nice too :) )<br /><br />Could you tell us which paints you used for the grenadiers' breeches?

I love them, and I hear rumors of firing line poses to be on the working table, which will add a lot to the range in terms of animation! Glad you liked the little write up on Leuthen, it's one of my favorite battles from a tactical perspective.Black Powderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811405795071310375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083471581529421888.post-92067934577567703562015-02-11T05:44:52.797-08:002015-02-11T05:44:52.797-08:00Cheers Micke, appreciate the comment!Cheers Micke, appreciate the comment!Black Powderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811405795071310375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083471581529421888.post-74453075531861288222015-02-11T05:44:01.445-08:002015-02-11T05:44:01.445-08:00Thanks Jonathan - they were a treat to paint, so b...Thanks Jonathan - they were a treat to paint, so be all means join in!
