discussion Imperial Guard French Grenadier 1:16

[Guest]

I have been working on this one for a while, never done one in this style before. I think it's looking about right but would value your views and comments.

The kit is from Mini Art in truth it's been a battle all the way not the best figure kit I've had.

Please keep in mind that it's still WIP

Does the white look to white?

I've used Vallejo off white over a ghost grey base

Looks good to me!

The white colour, seems to be different on every photo! But I can see the grey colour there it's fine!

I agree with Polux, the white looks good in those pictures David and the slight grey tone is evident in pictures 1 and 2.

agree with Polux,with a diffidence view you can see the gray tones,and white will pickup more light that any other color your used,

he looks great so well done,

Hello all

I've been slowly working on this one and thought you might like to see some more WIP shots.


The is the second time round as I tried oils and well it look more like a drag queen on a horror night!


So I went back to The panzer ace flesh colour set and with Tamiya's weathering pigments and a filter of my own mixing I'm now much happier with how the figure looks now.


Time for the photo's
