I've started to paint several minis for the French Imperial Guard, and this time I can show you my first Grenadier à cheval. It's a Hät mini, one of their first references, and still very good in my opinion.
His uniform is the model worn in the early years of the empire.
It is a test shot - I wish I have patience to paint a dozen more after this one - and I would like you to tell me what you think of it, and if you find any mistake I should correct. I chose to paint his horse black, which is correct according to the regulation, but a dark brown horse would be correct too.
Any comment welcome :)
Very good painting (comme toujours) Phil - nice figure too.
RépondreSupprimerI don't know how you have the patience to paint one figure so well..
Thank you Maudlin, very nice of you. I don't know how other people can paint dozens of minis so fast :)

Thank you Guido!
SupprimerLovely painting. I wouldn´t have rated them from looking at the unpainted sculpts but you´ve brought out the best in it. With your painting it Looks more like a zvezda sculpt than a hat one. One Thing..Has he got stirrups or are my eyes bad?
RépondreSupprimerThank you Paul. Oh no sorry, I didn't paint any stirrups, I don't think they were sculpted, or my eyes... :)
Supprimeris it for sale?
RépondreSupprimerHi, thank you for asking.
SupprimerSorry but no, it is not for sale. I paint less than 100 figures a year, so this one would be hiiiiighly expensive.
And even so, I am not interested in getting money in painting, it would not be a hobby anymore.
But again, I really appreciate your request.
Philotep.
