I thought I would have a go at doing these two Voltiguer's, both are Metal Models 54mm.
Both are slight conversions. One has a new light infantry shako and I will have to make some tiny bugle horns for the coat tails. Each head has had a moustache added from green stuff.
I have also gone over the waistcoats with thinned liquid green stuff and found it quite good if stippled on. Gives a slight uneven appearance, I was aiming for a wool texture. Hope it works in this scale ( it did on a 75mm).
Nothing is glued except the arms and I was playing around on where to place them on the base. This may take a while but I am not going anywhere soon.

Looks good Bob! This will make a nice little vignette.

Cheers,
Ken

Thank you Ken, I hope so too and nice to be back on 54s again amd like you, I think I will start with the groundwork.

Liking the look of these guys Bob..... following......Mike

A nice start Bob.
The Metal Modeles figures always look good.

Cheers,
Andrew

Thank you Nap, Mike and Andrew,
Hope not to disappoint on this one but I have thought about doing this project for a while now. Metal Modeles don't disappoint.
Perfect timing with lockdown.
Thanks for looking in and stay safe

Fine idea.

Following along Bob
You know I'm a sucker for a 54mm and Metal Modelles as well . . . . . pass me the popcorn

Stay safe mate
Paul

Very nice start! That is going to be a really nice vignette. I'll be following this thread with great interest.

Scott

Thank you very much for looking in guys.
Paul and Scott hope you have comfy seats on the front row.

This is going to be great Bob! Looking forward to see them progress. Regards Pete

Nice bit of conversion work there Bob. Super little scene and the two figures really interact to give that sense of being part of something bigger (if that makes sense!)


Neal

Thank you Pete and Neal,
managed the groundwork, but not quite happy with. Will wait and see what happens.

Well the gardening team came in and had a look. Garden SOS.
I decided to start again and this is the result and I am a lot happier. Now to start the figures.

This looks much better to me. Initially I thought the brown was too intense and dominant. Good call to add more vegetation (IMHO, of course).

Small amount of progress and I have been told I am painting the kitchen tomorrow 1/1 scale.
Don't think I will need my size 2 sable.
