In the sidelines of the last two posts some of the currnet WiP batch have been completed. These comprise the ECW Newcastle's coach command vignette, a retouching of Lord George Digby and a shepherd (his sheep are old figures).
I am pleased with how the coach vignette turned out, with Newcastle alighting to speak to a Whitecoat officer while his servants take the horses away to care for them. Clearly it's too late in the day to start a battle.
Pleased enough to do a quick light-box session.
The figures and horses are all Hinchliffe, and the Coach is by Minifigs - the paints are all Humbrol enamels.
I have since ordered some luggage to place on the platform behind the passenger compartment but that can be easily painted and added later.
Spectacular! Must find and paint my own 18th century coach and team. A Christmas gift a few years back. Your own vignette is inspiring.

Thanks Stokes, it's surely time war broke out in the Grand Duchy?
ReplyDeleteCracking vignette Rob, really well painted and posed, very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie, they don't always work out as well as this.
DeleteThat is terrific!
ReplyDeleteThanks, sometimes everything just works out the way you planned it. I just wish that happened more often, but where would the challenge be then?
DeleteJust superb, and the vibrant colours are absolutely terrific. Really inspiring.
ReplyDeleteCheers, but I believe I enjoyed painting Newcastle in his all-black outfit most, modelling-wise the servants caring for the horses were most fun.
DeleteWow! What a striking vignette. That had to be a ton of work!
ReplyDeleteActually I really enjoyed making so that always makes it go quickly. The only real hassle was the coach was provided with two left-side doors, but that was an easy fix.
