54mm Mounted Completed

All the King's Men 54mm British General
War of 1812







Here's a pic of the All the King's Men British War of 1812 officer. First attempt at 54mm faces.

Lessons Learned:

• Paint the face with a lighter "flesh color". This guy looks a little North African or Middle Eastern for a Brit in the field.
  
  
  
• Decide whether to paint or not paint the eyes. I don't have a consistent method yet and don't like the raccoon look or the zombie eyes unless I'm painting zombies or zombettes

What did I like?

• Easy to paint
• Figure took highlight and lowlighting well
• Plastic Horse took my "oil rubbed" finish well

What didn't I like?

• Officer was thin..almost like a flat. Cool figure but just too emaciated in proportion to his legs and too "long" for the size of the horse

Here you have it!.
