Hello everyone;
I took some progress pics today.
Here are the mixes:
1-Grenadier's fur hat
Base: burnt umber + german camo black/brown
Lights added flat yellow
Shadows added black.
Few washes with brown glaze.
2- Hat's brass plate with the royal Cypher
Testors enamel brass and gold
few diluted coats of Sepia ink,then re-touch prominent areas in gold.
I added some images of this regiment so you can have an idea of the Crimson facings.
Best regards

Hi Daniel. You´re on the way. The creamish white tone of the uniform is perfect, as well as the red crimson of facings. Good work in the fur cap. This going to be a very nice figure.
