I have been working on some individual figures recently, just for a change. On the left is Hooker and on the right is Buford, both from Redoubt. I quite like the Hooker sculpt but not so much the Buford one, it seemed too toy like. My gf tells me that the figures I normally paint are spooky as I do not make a point of painting eyes. I am of the school of thinking it is an art form to get right and best just shade them as on the tabletop no one really pays attention. However, I tried eyes for the first time and am not too disappointed.

 I have also been working on Picket (left) and Meagher. Also from Redoubt. I thought they were good sculpts but Meagher looks a bit skinny, or at least his horse does. Perhaps I am too used to seeing modern day mankind and the non skinny normality of the world!

 The figures prior to painting. I used a Vallejo black primer 73.602 which I brush on.
