The deceased count (part II)

Seven months have passed since the publication of the post presenting Count Heinrich's last home. Blame the endless painting of my regiment of mounted knights, as well as the apprehension of painting two new horses. Anyway...

The colours are as dull and muted as possible (it's a funerary coach after all). On a black undercoat, the wooden parts are painted with a mix of VGC extra opaque Heavy Charcoal and VMC Chocolate Brown, adding lines of VMA Tire black + Chocolate Brown and VMC Light Grey + Chocolate Brown. You'll recognize on the sides the intertwined brambles and capital letters of Adelarde de Monfort and Heinrich that I have already used extensively on the caparisons of the war horses. 

For the metallic parts, the usual basecoat of VMC Dark Sea Blue and VMC Hull Red, highlighted with Formula P3 Greatcoat Grey, VMC Field Blue, Light Grey and white.

The two living characters were painted with the tones of the spearmen for the rider, and of the mourners for the priest. As for the late husband of the White Lady, probably too much time spent on something hidden in the coach 😑 

 Coach done. That's a relief 😜
