I suspect not everyone working in the North Sea has a copy of Louis XV's Army vol1 by Rene Chartrand with them but....

"The soubreveste was lined red and edged with two silver laces at each side.
It had each company's distinctive white crosses edged with narrow silver lace on the breast and at the back, the tips of the crosses each had a gold lily.
The 1st Company had three gold and red flames at the angles of the cross, the 2nd company had 5 yellow and silver flames at the angles.
The Marechal des Logis wore a soubreveste with the royal cipher embroidered in gold on the skirt and edged with 5 silver laces, Brigadiers had 4 silver laces and Sub-brigadiers had 3."

The red coats worn beneath the soubreveste were laced gold for the 1st company and silver for the 2nd Company.
So the two illustrations in your initial post are from the 2nd company.

Roger.

Oops, almost forgot, your figure has 3 flames so is 1st Company, red edged gold flames at the angles of the cross and gold lace on red coat.
Hope all this is clear. I will post pics at the end of the week from home.

Roger.

Double post sorry.

Thanks a lot for the info, I do have the Rene Chartrand but is in a box in the attic .
Anyhow, here's some more pics of the progress I made yesterday, the blue souvreveste is basically done, except the lace that I have to decide which company I will make , 1st or 2nd.

Some illustrations I've found...

Such elegant uniforms at that time. A period of which I know little but looking forward to your painting anyway.

Good start Daniel and some pictures I don't have. I've also realised there's a deficiency in my own collection of figures which needs to be rectified.

Roger.

Roger,you are right indeed, i thought i could ppainted in thw colors of the 2nd company, i always like silver before gold, but you are right, the figure has 3 flames and i did not realize the second had 5 flames, so i will make the proper correction and laint the cross in white edged silver and leave the fleur de lys in gold.
thanks so much for your help, i really appreciate it.
best regards )

Good progress Daniel and great information.
Cheers,
Keith

You're very welcome Daniel, I'm only too pleased to help.

Roger.

A great start Daniel and another very informative thread, looking forward to following

Cheers Ken

This would make a very good 120mm resin flat.

Thanks mate!

I have a bunch of reference now if you need.
Anyways, I red the painting instructions on in the box and gives plenty of details, I hate reading instructions and manuals lol

Hey Ken, thanks for passing by!

Yes indeed!

Hello folks, made some corrections and darkened the soubreveste by using a toning technique with dark Prussian blue.
I have painted the silver lace base in gunmetal grey with metallic medium.
cheers
