Hi mate, i will not have a band but a drum major and 2 drummers with the 8 troooers presenting arms on the inspection conducted by the officer.
As for the highlights yes, i have to lush the envelope a little, otherwise you would not notice .

Great work on such a small scale Daniel, and such a difficult task of painting effectively. You are a master of the minis.

Belts and givernes ar edone both, gardes suisses and françaises.
The guards wore buff belts edged in white leather.
The cartridge boxes were of red Russian Leather edged innwhitw leather and with the royal arms on it with a silver wash.
I have used vallejo khaki for the belts, i applied a brush over with valejo sepia wash.
The edges are silver grey with a dab of white.
Cartridge boxes were painted with vallejo red leather with few washes of GW carrobourg crimson.
Added some silver on the kimg's arms with a dry brush technique.
The wigs for the French guards are done as well.

Sensational as usual!

Oda.

Back at home for a few days and you have moved loads of regiments through your painting factory.
As always Daniel very well painted with super detail.
All the best
Keith
