John II, called John the Good (French: Jean le Bon), was King of France from 1350 until his death in 1364. During his reign, he faced several challenges, including the Hundred Years' War with England. This is yet another popular miniature in 54mm originally manufactured by Elite Miniatures (they closed down their business some years ago). Today it's still avaiable in the FeR Miniatures offerings, but the original miniature is casted in white metal. Standard mixed acrylic-oils painting process, which is a bit facilitated here since the "fleur de lis" are casted in relief. Red hairs is a bit difficult to render, and the photo does not help much...

sdfgds fgasfgad   Another very popular Pegaso Model figurine in 75mm scale. Many painters opted for a red coloured vest, this time I opted for a blue one. I used a mixec acrylic-oil paint, also for the vest. In general oil simplify the painting process of shades and highlights. Yes, eventually they are a bit glossy, but I used the super effective matt varnish by AK using airbrush and this makes everything very matt (including metals...) For the first time I decided to include some water in the scene. It's not easy to work with the resin, in general, but overall I am rather happy of the final outcome.
