    I am making progress on these chaps, slowly but surely.
    Thw idea is to have a view of the French troops, the guards, the regulars, the generals , cavalry and king louis as well. 20190901_170651.jpg 20190901_170736.jpg 20190908_111142.jpg 20190901_165950.jpg

    Resumed work on these guards.
    The French guardsmen are at a 75% completion, while the swiss are about 40%.

    I have made great progress today..
    I've mixed some green stuff putty with Magic sculp for the lace, then let it sit for about 20' and used the rugged area of the xacto Knife to press on the mix for the pattern on the lace.
    Once the putty is fully cured, based in black and dry brush it with a Mix of Army painter armour silver , dab of vallejo silver grey and a dab of vallejo metal medium , once dry, applied matt varnish to get rid of the glossy finish. 20210203_151035.jpg 20210203_150312.jpg 20210203_150254.jpg

    Hi Daniel

    I do like seeing the updates my friend the way you can convert and add details on this scale is beyond me !

    Like the way the silver lace has worked looks great .....and I do like that he will have red gaiters

    A very impressive and flamboyant uniform

    The recent group looks some nice figures as well ....I see new arms and cuff lace appearing ......enjoy them

    Happy benchtime
