Sergeant, 79th Highlanders, Waterloo 1815

Hi and happy Easter to you all,

I have been visiting your wonderful forum for years, marveling at the results of all the inspiring artists here.

Well, after introducing myself on the Welcome Board, I thought I gather all my courage now and show you for the first time one of my latest creations. Please be gentle

This is my first large scale Miniature in 16 years after concentrating mainly on 28mm figures in the past. I must admit that I had to adjust my painting techniques quite a bit as I did not needed to over exaggerate shadows and highlights as I would normally do for the smaller scales.

The figure is a 75mm Miniature from Alexandros Models and was painted mainly in Acrylics. I used paints from various Ranges, i.e. Andrea, Reaper MP Triads, GW / Citadel, Foundry and Coat d' Arms Triads.

I decided to hold back on the weathering as I could not get me to dust or dirty him more. I also depicted a dryer, dustier patch of earth he is standing on which meant I only lightly dusted the shoes of him. I know it was a little bit wetter at Waterloo but I just did not wanted to start muddying and darken everything.

Kind regards

Sascha
