    Hello folks,
    Here is a little conversion i am making, the original figure is a Hessian officer from the AWI series from Triguard Miniatures.
    This German regiment in French service has a longstanding service , lates 1680s.
    This is one of my many favorite uniforms of the SYW, amazing look on thos unifoem colors and eye catching flag.
    I am plnning to do a little vignette with a max of 3 or 4 figures.
    Cheers. 20191223_082752.jpg 20191222_171810.jpg 20191222_213013.jpg

    I have primed the figure with self etching primer as usual.
    Layed the base colors for the coat using vallejo sky blue and a dab of scale 75 cantabric blue.
    As for the vest i want it to try the pro.acryl blue.
    Pants are vallejo game.dense blue.
    As for the yellow cuffs and lapels i am usimg citadel Averland sunse as a base color.

    Sky blue coat done, yellow facings as well, too bad it does now really show the contrast on the yellow as it looks live, maybe the light i am using.
    I have started the work on the hat, and will follow with the face . 20191224_012736.jpg 20191224_012749.jpg

    Hi Daniel

    The work on the blue looks great , like the way you have done the seams is very effective

    The facings are I am sure good in reality

    I presume he has the flagpole etc in the right against the body ??

    Thanks for sharing this update

    Thanks mate.
    Baron Münchaussen is holding a stick, i will leave that alone.
    The other figure on the first pic ( notice the left arm) will hold the flag and modify to hold the sword whike other 2 figures are firing their muskets to approaching prussians or brits ;-)

    And here is the secod officer, he will hold a flag and sword.
    The flag is not this regimental flag, just for the purpose of see how it will look when done. 20191225_123556.jpg 20191225_154708.jpg 20191225_165319.jpg
