Do look good well done   

Hi Bani,
like this figure a lot. Great painting, this figure would go very well as a small group.Thank youRegardsWolfgang

Hi Bani!
Very good paintwork!
And I agree to your opinion about how the "white" should be presented.
I myself use a bit very light grey and only the highlights are accentuated with "real" white.
By the way - according to my opinion - the "ready-made" off-white (so the product that is sold under the name "off-white") is usually rather yellowish, so I do not like to use for this purpose.
Also best wishes for the New Year!

Hi all,


A (belated) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!


Here’s another Ottoman janissary, this time from Kieler. Painting a single figure is much more relaxing, but I have a big pile of unpainted tin to get through!


This time I added a touch of burnt umber to the börk (the janissary hat). The off-white result is, I feel, a bit more pleasing to the eye than the cool white of the previous group. But I think either is possible- if the white wool was bleached, as one would expect for the Ottoman elite, this would eliminate the natural off-white of the wool. So, I’m undecided. Perhaps a variation in my collection is fine as well..


I didn’t feel like painting the eyes on this one. Perhaps I will add them later, but I feel it would alter the ‘personality’.


Best Regards
Bani
