Partizan painting update: Émile Driant

This week James M made a model for us to use as Lieutenant-Colonel Émile Driant for our upcoming Bois Des Caures game at Partizan this weekend.

Here is the original that James kit-bashed from a Scarab Miniatures communications set member

His article on the build is here.

On Thursday evening James had sprayed with Army Painter Wolf Grey and handed the figure over to to me for a quick paint job in time for the weekend.

Before work on Friday I did the base-coats and then gave a wash of Vallejo Sepia Wash. That evening when I got home from work, I completed the highlights, picked out some detail with W&N inks and then did the base.

In Driants last action it is said that as they abandoned the command bunker they burn the paperwork, so I wanted to show that on the base, it's a simple fire of bamboo skewers with a bit of Green Stuff for flames and a few pieces of paper still burning.

 If you are at Partizan tomorrow, pop over and say hello.
