Wonder if Bill ever visited the German regions of the Holy Roman Empire? :hmmm
Took the plunge and scribed a pattern to finish the breast and back plates as "black & white" armour.
The shaded areas wil be the blued, blackened or russeted areas, depending partly on the colours I pick for his coat and partly on
finding a technique that gets the best result for the colouring. The other areas will be polished steel.

A little rubbing and buffing tonight.
Some peweter Rub n'Buff applied over the flat black base.
And after a bit of buffing with a soft shoe polishing cloth. A gloss base will usually give a deeper shine, better for
parade armour.
Anyone thinking I was talking about anything but modelling, please report to Father Mulcahy immediately. B)
Cheers,

I got some silver leaf in Edmonton, either Michael's or DeSerres in West Ed. I picked up the peweter and copper from an
E-bay store out of the Vancouver area.

Since our last update, I stripped the pewter from the breastplate as it was looking to dark for the white armour of a mid-grade officer.
I reapplied silver leaf Rub n' Buff over the entire breastplate, painted the black areas, applied some black washes and a bit of
silver dry brushing for highlights.
I painted his sash in the sky-blue of Fredrick V's protestant forces at White Mountain in 1620 and started the face by painting his eyes.
Cheers.
