2nd Regt. Velites Of The Guard Officer


Here are the finished images of my 54mm Velites of the Guard Officer. Base has been finished in a faux marble effect using acrylics. The veining was done by painting over the base-coat with Amsterdam acrylic retarder and then applying the vein colour onto the wet surface. This technique allows for some diffusion of the paint for a more realistic marble effect. Posted by Alex Long at 8/29/2014 10:22:00 am Labels: 54mm, acrylics, Historical, Napoleonic, oils
