Hello planeteers,
i have finished the coat and lapels on these troopers,the "casque" still need some work but almost done.
Vests and pants done, gaiters and shoes/arms need to be completed.
I will leave the faces for last.
for the coat i used an "unusual " mix, not my standard Creamy white but rahter i've used a mix of deck tan and stone grey (vallejo) , i used deck tan on the vest and pants and went a little bit more towards the pure white on the last lights to differenciate the color of the coat form the rest of the garments.
The gaiters are based with a mix of white and silver grey.
Once i finish with these two i will start the National guard officer whom will be chatting with the officer of the regiment .
ihave envision the officer and the national guard officer looking and examining the officer's casque which was issued to most of the regiments in replacement of the tricorne hats....

I really like Your stuff, mate!

Cheers

Looking excellent mate, the Leopard skin looks particularly natural and well done.

Thanks Martin!
regards

Thanks , i wasn't very happy at first so i gave it a wash of light sand to tone it down the golden yellow.
Thanks for passing by

thats a good idea mate and its worked out really well.

Thanks! ,hopefully i can make it better with the officer's casque.
I am working on the national guard officer's tricorne/bicorne hat,so i will pause for a bit to concentrate and get the right shape on the hat.
What about you?, what are you working on now??

I'm working on http://www.skminiatures.co.uk/#/craufurd-75mm/4553106288 and http://www.historexagents.com/shop/hxproductdetail.php?ProductCode=90/8

wow,that looks very interesting, i am sure you will be busy for a while with the 90mm scale

Yea I dont make things easy on myself. can see it being stripped a few times. Ive already stripped down the 75mm one 9 times.

Lol , keep at it mate!

Oh dont worry I wont let it beat me.

Good, i like that!
I am working on the national guard hat and is sucking the life out of me, trying to shape a 1805 hat to a 1791 ,i want to shape it like the figure in the middle,the chasseur of the paris guard.

yea looks like a bastard. You making it from scratch.

yep, but i think i am getting there

you brave brave man, that looks pretty spot on to me though mate. maybe possibly compress both ends just a tiny bit more.

thanks mate! , compress as of shorten each edge or top of each end?

erm id say try pulling it out at each end and smoothing it down if you get what I mean

i think i do,i will post more pics tomorrow so you can tell me if it's close enough.
Thanks for your help

yea mate look forward to it. sorry I couldnt get my words across.
