Don Cossak 1918-1920 Completed !!

Quick update
Head now done apart from the glossing on the slashed peak on the cap

Roughing in the tunic now and somewhat mucked up the groundwork having done the epoxy putty old doughnut boy here forgot to tint the putty in the way that he intended too
thus heavy washes of brown has pretty much mucked up the grass effects,... oh well you live and learn
fence just given a very light wash of brown to be enhanced later on :)

Enjoy,.... :D

PS

All acrylics Andrea, Vallejo, Games workshop.

I did try some dabbling in oils for the face but mucked it up and then used my tried and trusted face paint procedure
I did however use some oils for the reddening on the cheeks :D
 
Beautiful Andy!!! Everything works perfectly together.

How do you work so fast? Oh yeah, you use acrylics... :laugh:

Thank you very much

Well in answer to Toms question I do sections at one time say for instance I`ll work on the trousers in an evening session and while the paint dries Ill do some work on the base and vice versa that way it doesnt take too long to complete

Generally Ill work from head to toe with the boots being last

The figure is then fixed to base and then Ill go back and touch up and refine anything that catches the eye

Glad you like it

Fun little job and ready for Saturday

Next up is to kick my printers head in cos it wont print out the name plate I made onto glossy photographic paper
The papaer wont feed while it prints perfectly on normal papar ,..grrrrrrrr
