Hello Planeteers,
Finally starting to work on these artlerymen .
While i am finishing some white coats for the last two regime ts left, i will ocassionaly work on the French Royal.Artilley present at Yorktown.
I will start by re-coating two chasseurs originaly from the saintonge regiment which were left out and put them to use , marching near the emplacement of the siege guns.
The whole artillery will include two 12 lbs canons , i will have to build the gun emplacement from scratch, and have their respective crews converted figures from Front rank and Trident , they are british artillery crew who will be converted to resemble the Frenchies.
Great amount of work ahead, but very excited to work on the las phase of the project.
Regards

Master of Mini????, dang man, now i have a lot of pressure to do a good job !!!

Thanks for your comments Kev :)
 
I am using scale 75 deep blue and a dab of Vallejo dark sea blue for the coats, as for the pants and vest i am using a different blue, andrea sea blue and dab of scale 75 cantabric blue.
Always like to see a slight difference between the coat and the other gatments when they have the same color .
The other figure in the picture is a conversion i did from Trident , an american artillerymen to a Frenchie, the head with the pokalem hat is from Trident as well.

Those uniform colours look great , I have said it before these are gems and so full of individuality ...like that Artilleryman as well ...nice pose and in a different put dress as well

Never known so many whites ...all looking so good

I was going to add the grenadier sword but decided to do the right thing and cutted the hilt guard and built the eagle head instead , i also shortened the sword.
The French Artillery introduce this short sword woth an eagle handle around late 1760's...
