    I know, not ideal to drill a hole on the figure after is painted but since it is a manual tool and a small hole it was not an issue.
    I am glad you like the drummers, it is quite time consuming to finish them, but i am having a blast modelling them
    Cheers!

    I have glued the swords, they are from Front rank in 28mm but big enough and perfect size for these chaps, since the area where the sword is was meant to also include the bayonet holster, i had to add the lower fold of the turnback and the holding area of the sword belt... 20230415_215218.jpg

    Hi Daniel

    They look great in position on the battlefield , the work on the lace pattern really shows well

    Once the next 3 are completed can we see pictures of the whole piece .....perhaps close ups of your favourite areas

    Added this chap to the battlefield.
    I have started working on this wounded trooper, original figure is a colonial militia, just needed to strip off one of the shoulder bellts and shapen some areas, added the folds ,waist belt and cuff flaps using a mix of Magic sculp and greenstuff.. 20230426_225904.jpg 20230426_225951.jpg 20230426_230024.jpg 20230428_155029.jpg 20230428_154950.jpg

    Started painting the wounded trooper and got to another existing British officer that i am transforming into a Swiss Officer to carry the Colonel Flag.
    The original figure is marching, so, i clipped off the legs and use the existing standing legs and base from another spare figure... 20230429_235212.jpg 20230429_235031.jpg 20230429_235059.jpg 20230429_235126.jpg

    Hi Daniel

    Nice putty work there . What do you use for the pattern on lace , knife blade/cocktail stick or have you a specific modelling tool ?

    Cheers for the updates

    Happy benchtime

    Thanks Kev,
    Here is what i do:
    After the base of the lace is put in place, if it is putty, i wait a little until hardens up just a bit and i press the Xacto knife "pattern" with very little pressure to avoid deforming the lace.
    Sometimes if the area is hard for XActo knife use or small area, i use the blade and mark a pattern as i included in the picture.
    The last option is when i use Lead foil, i cut the strips, place them and then i press the Xacto knife pattern against it.
    I hope this helps. 20230504_083010.jpg 20230504_125859.jpg
