I have started to sculpt the holsters and also bulked out the lower lip of the horse.

I refined the painting on the face, and reshaped the shoes. The tongue of each shoe was trimmed off and the shoes were reshaped. The drum was test-fitted onto the figure and it fits nicely.

Given that the colours are so dull, I decided to repaint the figure. Blemishes were scrapped off. The scabbard was filed flat. The mon designs were filed off. The spaces between the hands and the legs were hollowed out.



The figure was painted in oils and left to dry.


The figure has dried quite nicely. I added another layer of gloss polyurethane varnish to the scabbard to create a high gloss effect. The grass was also painted with shades and highlights.

Louis XIV Drummer XIV

I spent the weekend focusing on this figure. The lacings were redone and carefully lined up. Highlights and shadows were finalised on the coat. Final buttons were added and all buttons were outlined and painted in gold. The hair was built up at the back and painted.

Finally the buckles on the shoes were removed and the shoes were extended.

I outlined the lacing and discovered that some of them were in the wrong place. I decided to redo the lace painting after I had resculpted some other details, including the cuffs, hair and drum harness.

I painted the blues for the lacing, stockings and cuffs.

Hans Joachim von Ziethen

I have had this figure for sometime now. It is a conversion based on a U Puchala figure.The headdress, the arms and back were modified.  I glossed over the base and added lettering. Finished!

The WWII personalities collection

I have decided to redo the earlier figures and add more figures, based on the quality of work achieved with the Rommel figure. This work involves the adjustment of the height of the various personalities to make it more varied and interesting.

The deGaulle figure height readjusted to Rommel figure.
