Hi. Im interested in history, but the reason for painting this great miniature by Pegaso was not fascination in French Revolution (well, i can even say that i dont like it..). I chose it just beacuse it fantastic and funny sculpt. I dont have photos now, i try to make some with my pr0 phone camera (you propably will not be able to see anything on these photos, but its always better to try..). I started this mini some time ago, and now i cant paint, but when i finally will be able to, i'll end him Here's the link for mini on Pegaso Models site: www.pegasomodels.com/details_en.asp?code=54-220

K, i have the photos.. very poor photos i should say









I know its hard to see anything, but im happy from this how my idea works. My idea was to use metallic gold to paint borders of the jacket. I've never seen it done on this mini, but i think it looks really good and add character to mini.

The pics are not too bad considering that they are off your phone, I too have a couple of Pegaso models that I started and never finished, I just don't feel like I have the necessary level of skill to do them justice. I would like to see this develop though it might inspire me.

Hehehe, this guy was stripped off a lot of times, its very hard to paint good miniature- you always fell that you are not able to paint it good enough But now i must end him, i dont want to let him turn into another 'boring beacuse of stripping' mini, as i did with many figures.. i just dont know how to paint thin strips on his pants, maybe you can give me any advice ? And the photos are not SO bad because i discovered technique of making photos with k700i phone.. better than 'normal'. I just put magnifying glass near the object glass. Sounds funny but it works ;D Ah, in reality blue doesn't look like pen ink as it does on photos

I know what you mean, as for pin stripes well I use thin black lines to out line them first and then fill them with the colour I use, I have a pic of an Ogre I did somewhere I will put it up later.
