In view of the occasion I painted a miniature that had been resting on my lead pile for a couple of years. It's a wonderful incarnation of Kaiser Wilhelm I. which was sculpted by Alan Perry as a special miniature for Tactica 2016. I'm not sure whether I'll ever need him on table but it was a great figure to paint.
On the underlying picture by German painter Wilhelm Camphausen both uniform and coat appear to have the same nearly black colour. Nevertheless I decided to give my Kaiser some more play of colours. So I opted for the classic Prussian blue for the uniform and a rather greyish-blue tone for the coat. The figure is painted with Vallejo Model colours and some Citadel contrast paints here and there.
I hope you like it.
Lovely work on him.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Paul.
DeleteWow! Lovely work in a period of interest to me. At first I thought it was a larger model - 54mm or so.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Dean.
DeleteIndeed Alan but a lot of detail and character into the face and medal and these things. It was pure joy to paint the Kaiser.
Great looking figure Stefan.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Ray.
DeleteA lovely looking figure Stefan...
ReplyDeleteNow if only someone made a set of plastic miniatures to go with him...😁
All the best. Aly
Many thanks, Aly.
DeleteI'm waiting for a set of plastics by a certain company indeed. Cannot say how much I'm looking forward to it... ;-)
Lovely piece of work! Especially on the overcoat, and set off nicely with the base.
