Tiger 2

The second of my Louisiana Tiger zouaves is done! 

This is similar to the first in painting style. I have actually done the jacket using a three-colour approach. The base colour is Vallejo Dark Blue with Intense Blue shadows and the highlights done by adding a little white to the Dark Blue. The result is quite subtle when seen in real life and even more so in photographs.

The trouser stripes are in Intense Blue and I'm quite pleased with the effect. I've used a brown wash on the gaiters and haversack.

Figure 3 was going to be an attempt at using the stain-painting technique (a predecessor to commercially available "speed paints") but the lack of large areas on single colour on these figures means it's not really achieving much. Look out for a significant departure from the approach so far in the next figure!
