The Grenadier progresses
Thanks to some bad weather here in the UK I have been able to progress a bit more painting of the French Grenadier.
You can see my work area too in this picture. Light is supplied from the window overlooking the garden supplemented by a ‘daylight’ bulb in an angle poise lamp. The French Grenadier is progressing quite well.
In the next picture the greatcoat and everything above his greatcoat is being painted. Leaving the trousers and boots to last allows me to handle the figure without damage as I paint the upper portions. The shako still needs the tricolour painted on the front, just above its brass eagle.
Although I still have quite a bit of work to do on this figure I am starting to think about the base, its size and its layout.
