Hi, all! Here are a couple more figures that I finished so I could get them off the bench. This time, I bring you two pewter figures from the Franklin Mint, a Totenkopf-Husar, left, and a dragoon of the Bayreuth Dragoons:

These were issued in a set in 1985, and were finished with a sort of antiqued patina. I decided to paint them, and to make another foray into matte colors, instead of my usual gloss toy soldier finish.

Here they are, from the back:

I didn't do very much in the way of shading, except to drybrush some of the highlights, and to apply some washes. It is a fun change of pace to paint with mattes, but my first love is still the glossy finish.

I have some more figures in progress, which I hope to have done in a few days, and I'll add them to the thread.

Thanks for looking!
Brad
