La Fin is the name of my new project in scale 1:16 and it's a vignette in progress. The theme is the Battle of Waterloo and it depicts a French Cuirassier who's badly wounded after the charge against the British infantry .
i spend a few days thinking through how i'm going to do this in a convincing looking way than i came up with the idea to let him fall from his horse.. well not really of course but giving the impression that he loses his consciousness and tumble down from the horse . Although the model is build out of the box i did a few changes . The kit is from Miniart .
In my mind he is a senior officer after searching on the internet i found out that a colonel of the Cuirassiers had two silver gray epaulettes, however on the box art the guy is a corporal with two red epaulettes i changed him into a colonel. Also a lot of gold color was added on the sword and armor. When the figure head is assembled it's bald , the helmet will be on the ground so i made hear from tiny bits of steel wool after squeezing it first in my hand. Fixation of the hear was done with instand glue.
A few pics ,
the restyling of the figure ,
Filling up the gaps and holes with putty and milli put .
After sanding and priming the painting started,
Checking out the colors in daylight,
And this is the work so far after some further painting and the creation of blood splashes on his armor
Okay that's it for now i hope you like this ?It is a totally different thing than scale 1:35 and WWo 1 and 2 builds
Thanks for watching.
Kurt.
