16th Lancer

Here's my latest figure; it's the 16th Lancer, 54mm figure from Elite. Cast in white metal, there's very little clean up; a couple mold lines on the inside of the leg and along the back edge of the sleeve thatwere surprisingly easy to clean up.

He's painted with oils over Reaper acrylic paints; the torso is completed and have just started on the pants and boots...

With the exception of metal button, all other gold lace is painted using a non-metallic metallic method that I adapted from Lou.

He isn't attached yet to the base; I want to get the back of the pants finished. The way he's positioned on the base close to the stone wall doesn't allow for a lot of space to paint.

The stone wall came from my spare parts bin as did the Verlinden gate; the post is craft wood painted with varying shades of sepia, burnt umber and unbleached titanium white. The stone steps are balsa foam painted with Reaper acrylics and washed with a mix of burnt umber and sepia.
