Mughal Warrior XVII/XVIII Century by king derelict- Pegaso - 75mm

[king derelict]

Here we go again. I find these figures to fun, interesting and relatively quick. What’s not to like. So, back to Pegaso and a slightly larger figure at 75 mm. A lot of meta armor to try to polish up and gild and something completely new- a tiger skin cloak to attempt. The painting guide calls out a bearskin cloak but the box art is definitely from a tiger, probably responsibly harvested. So there is a fall back if my painting skills fall short.

 The guide departs considerably from the box art but there are a lot of options. I like the box top scheme so we will start there and see what happens.

I forgot to take the initial photos but it was the usual assembly of the main figure, black primer and white zenithal shading. I’ve started polishing the helmet, greaves, chain mail and body armor. This will then get details picked out in gold.

Thanks for looking in

Thanks OC. Some interesting challenges but it’s a very nice sculpt.

After polishing the armor I started the painting with the gold highlights on. As I've done before I used Tamiya clear orange rather than a metallic gold paint. I think it produces a deeper gold. The rest of the paints will be Vallejo acrylics. I will use their gold paint for gold fabric details.

 shield is almost complete. There is an inner ring and the bit of the outer that I was holding still to finish.

I have started adding gold to the helmet, greaves and arms. The initial glazes are on the tunic and pants and then I got distracted and started on the cloak. Ive used Orange Brown and it may be a bit too orange. I’ll see how it looks with another layer or two and maybe try the stripes.

So far this is proving to be very relaxing and enjoyable.

Thanks for looking in and the likes and comments.
