Next on the list is one of my mounted French Generals, Honoré Charles Reille. He doesn't really fit in my Russian campaign historically, but the figure can be used to represent other Generals! So this figure will be put to good use. This is from the Perry Miniatures Corp Commanders pack that also includes d'Erlon and Lobau.
One of the things I wanted to try when painting this figure was to see if I could do a dapple grey horse. They have always been a favorite of mine just because of all the diversity in patterns of white, gray, and black. In the end I think it came out a little darker than I was planning, but still pretty pleased with the results. Here's a couple of pictures.
I have a couple of items on my painting desk that are almost finished. So hopefully I'll have a few more updates soon.
Thanks for stopping by!

Fine brushwork, Rod! I like the dapple effect you achieved. The horse looks a little long in the backside to my eye. Is that an illusion from the photo?
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan. It may just be an illusion of the photo. I don't recall the horse looking out of proportion when I was painting it.
DeleteFantastic work on this commander Rod!
