I have this set on the bench at the moment, http://www.zinnfigur.com/product_in...Csid=1b6ccenglaqcpq4beg31819895&sort=1d&ID=87

Mine will be painted to represent the Auvergne Regiment, http://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php?title=Auvergne_Infanterie

Here's a little teaser ad,

Roger.

Okay so the side view might be better, it's been stripped twice already but I have a plan.

Roger.

Nice so far Roger - I will follow with interest

Thanks Martin, I'm beginning to think all these white uniforms was not the best idea I've ever had.

Roger.

making a sun clock?

It wouldn't work very well Gerard, this is North Yorkshire not Barcelona!

I guess not...Anyway I'll be following how do you manage with those violets

The plan was to mix my own violet but to make sure I had a consistent colour right the way through the whole set I decided to simplify things by basing it on something direct from from the tube so...

Base-Dioxazine Purple
Shade- Base + Phthalo Green (blue shade)
Light- Base + White.

Roger, great start.
i am sure you will do great on the white, the violet or purple is not an easy color to work with,i remember when i painted the Gatenois regiment,i really struggleled but the violet/purple but at the end it was fine.
I like the contrast of the white uniform and facing color.
I follow!

Thanks Daniel, I can see what I need to do but having the patience to wait for it to dry before adding the next highlight is the frustrating part.

Roger.

Lol, patience isn't build on me sometimes, i want to paint it all but i learned that it always lay better results to wait.
I like your work,keep on my friend.

Hello Roger,

Bet you can't do that teaser shot on the Flat figure forum and still remain a member...
But what a creative storage idea - imagine all the flats stored and displayed in this manner.

Hello
lot of possibilities
look at http://www.grosser-generalstab.de/lh/lh.html it's the Lienhart & Humbert
go to BAND III check Infanterie jusqu'en 1720

Hello Victor, I can say you bet me to do it.

Roger.

Thank you very much, I don't know how but I forgot all about those. I am using these http://pfef.free.fr/Anc_Reg/Unif_Org/Mouillard/mouillard.htm along with the Osprey book on Louis XV's infantry.

Roger.

Nice start, and 17 figures to paint......
Good luck, and you gonna be sure that i will follow it closely.
Marc

Thanks Marc. I suspect this will be a long term project along with the Leuthen set.

Roger.

Roger, can i send you few of my frenchment to help me paint???

Hmmm.... let me think about that very carefully..............

A bit further.
