Thank you Guy, this really is a beautiful figure to paint.
I'm going with blue/grey trousers, what do you think?

Roger.

 

[georges64]

Looks very good as says Guy and go on with blue/grey trousers. I think it would be accurate.

I think you went there already, but why not ... I 'm so envious to see website and associations like that who save their country's memory.
Pictures of Antietam and gettysburg battlefields are impressive.

Seb.

 

[Roc]

Roger, so far so good, looking forward to seeing more.

Cheers
Roc

Thank you Seb, yes I have that site already bookmarked, along with alot of other ACW reenactment sites but that one is one of the very best.
Thank you Roc, I'm looking forward to showing you further progress but it's back to work and the sea on monday so you might have a little wait

Hi Roger,

Well that looks good so far ! Colours of the tunic and rank stripes are good !!Are you really going to do the trousers in fed. sky blue ? I think sky blue trousers were indeed supplied to them, but personally I'd prefer dark green... If I recall well, the Bill Horan 54mm version which won best of show at euromilitaire years ago had green trousers too, and it looked good.

Every day it looks better. Welldone!

Thank you Johan. I was just talking to someone else about that Horan figure. It was on the cover of Mil Mod magazine and iirc it did have green trousers.
It took me ages to make my mind up to paint the trousers sky blue, please don't make me change my mind again

Thank you Rafa, hopefully I will have a nice figure at the end.

Thank you Marc, and yes I have been studying Jaume's sbs face painting guide. It's on the Vallejo site iirc.
