17th Century Cossack.

[Chris S]

Hi folks ...

Another little job I have underway !
I recently recieved this piece from my good friend Richard over at Modelair in Newmarket , Auckland ,New Zealand .
The figure is a 90mm 17th Century Cossack from AC Models ,also from NewZealand .Cast in resin its beautifully sculpted and has a great pose ...



So far I just completed some clean up and done a dry build . The fur coat ,head and gun will be removed for painting .There is a little filling to do in a few places but nothing major ,so I should get to paint fairly quickly .









More up soon .

Thanks for looking.

Chris.

Hi chaps ,

So ,thats where I started ,The Blue coat ,still a bit damp and shiny .



Kinda looks like one of those headless monsters from Scooby Doo

Baron ,I always basecoat with acrylics then paint with oils


Been getting a little more done on the Cossack .
The Black & Red parts are just blocked in , I've been working on the leather parts ...Straps ,satchels and Boots . The boots are still wet so they dont show well in the pics ....
