Dear Planeteers,

here are some pictures of my current project. When I purchased this bust (Stormtrooper Miniatures), I had no idea of the color of the uniform of this Swiss battalion in French service. I definitely did not expect it to be yellow! Well, he is still missing his knapsack and his musket. I hope to finish the bust by the end of next week.
Happy painting everyone!

Nice work on the yellows, not an easy colour to work with. Cap lines look great too.

Really good start Sven..... Mike

Sven, Really liked the way you pulled off the yellow and red colors! Very striking uniform! Thanks for sharing your work!

Outstanding work, especially the yellow..
I'm bookmarking this page, I have the Swiss Sapper with Cantiniere from Bonaparte Miniatures, which I'm going to do in the Neufchatel colours. I'll be following this.

Many thanks for all likes and comments - much appreciated! Here are more pictures of the finished knapsack.

Cheers
Sven

Details are looking great, love the color tones.

Friends,
here is the final piece. Picking yellow as the main color for a uniform is a bold decision. I am glad that he did not turn out too clownesque.
Hope you like my Pionieer of the Neuchatel Btn somewhere in Russia in 1812.

Hi Nap,

Hi Nap,
the unpainted musket was not permanently fixed and I painted it separately.

Excellent work there Sven!

Excellent wrap up on this beauty!

Lovely work Sven, especially the Yellow and the face.
