I kind of rushed the French so I could start on the Russians - here they are primed black (Black Russians?):
Some nice images of Russian Cuirassiers (as well as other nations' heavy cav):

Foundry French O's Completed
Here is General Sycophant and his trusty aide Colonel Lackey. These are part of the figures my buddy asked me to paint for him in exchanged for some Foundry Russian Cuirassiers.
I gave the horses a very basic block paint job (with some highlights on the saddle cloth and holster covers). For the general's mount (with the red saddle cloth), I just left the white undercoat as is for the stain.
Then brushed on some Minwax Tudor Satin stain. Today being somewhat warm, and using a hair dryer, I was able finished them with Testors Dullcote

ReplyDeleteNice work on the blending of the highlights on these.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great comments. I wondered if the photo made the highlights look too funky - they look a bit more subtle in-person (not magnified). Best, Dean

What's sad is your basic block painting of the horses way exceeds what I consider my "A" game in painting horses! Excellent job.
