Viking on Horseback

[Guest]

Hello to all.

Here you have my near work. It's a figure of white metal, a topic very different from the made thing till now from my. I have many doubts how paint it, to obtain colors and sheen wished...

The base is already almost finished, probably some small detail, but it's Ok!!!

Certainly .. it's Andrea Miniatures Scale's figure 1/32

Best regards

Interesting base. I like the look of the scribing on his breastplate, looks like it will be a nice piece when painted!

Hi Polux just been looking at the Andrea mimiatures there's some very good ones i may have a dabble at one as well. The base is looking sweet on yours looking forward to the Viking and horse being painted

[Guest]

Many thanks for your comments mates!!

I fall in "love" with it in the alone one to see it!! :iloveyou:

Today I have painted it with a mixture of black and grey (imprimer). I give you a relation of products and paintings used in the base, for if it can interest someone.

The base is done with bicarbonate and glue, the grasses are grains field and reeds (from Busch). The land is painted with this colors: Terracotta/Tank Brown/German Beige/Medium Brown/White.

Best regards

Hi Polux

This looks a really nice figure, the detail in the sculpting is very good. You've made a great start on the base - looks terrific and I'll be really looking forward to seeing what you make of this Viking on horseback.

All the best with the painting.

Cheers

Hi all.

Maybe some of you remember this thread was stopped, because I did a strange mix or reaction, and the poor horse finished with an absolutely hard and green coat of “paint” ops:

Well....so I haven’t nothing to lose....I have leave the figure, under all kind of products and toxic liquids these last days and seems I have recover the horse!!! O_o The result isn’t perfect, but will be ok to try a paint work.

If you are thinking why I have returned at this one now....the reason is simple!! After the magnificent advices and the patience of our master’s figure Paul, and the “nonstop” marathon of John with his figures, I wish to try and learn to paint one :P

This is the final result after the acid wash.... O_o Now I have to mask and primer again.
