Marshal Ney has reported to camp in his new uniform and mount. Because he is the highest ranking soldier in camp, he has been named the new camp commander.

For additional "before" photos, to see what the figure looked like before it was stripped of paint and varnish and then primed and repainted, see this blog post. Note: "The Bravest of the Brave" still needs his coat of varnish (to withstand even the coldest of Russian winters).
He looks splendid!
ReplyDeleteThank you Stryker.
DeleteGreat job, he looks so majestic!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil.
DeleteExcellent brushwork there Captain! What paints are you using and do you varnish your finished figures?
ReplyDeleteKind regards, Dave
Thank you. I will be varnishing him. It will be a gloss varnish (these are “vintage figures, after all, and we want them to look authentic). I am using acrylic paints. I will do a post about my paints in the not too distant future. Thank you for the question.
DeleteMeant to say will you be using gloss or matt varnish?
ReplyDeleteGloss acrylic varnish. You can see an example of a gloss varnish (first coat) on my Prussian Jägers in a prior post.
DeleteHe is excellent, CN! I particularly like his natty blue coat.
ReplyDeleteAll the best

Thank you James!
