Thanks Kev,
Yes, i find that for yellow as a base, any brown or violet works fine.

I have touched up the highs on the red, finished the yellow facings and the white collar.

Thanks Kev, yes, i need to add the highest lights on the edges , that will brimg some contrast to it, did not have time to do it before left for work :-(

Haha, always!

Hi Daniel,

happy new year. I love the work your doing on this golden oldie.

Cheers

Huw

Thanks Huw, same for you and your family!
Best regards

If you want to take a pass on painting the color/standard Daniel, you may want to try one of my friend John Sanheim's printed flags. They are perfect and he does produce many of the ancien regime standards. Not all of us are Ivo Preda......... Happy painting!

Thank you so much for the info Jaybo, yes Ivo's skill for detail is unmatcht.
I like to challenge myself and see how far i could go on painting these flags and at the same time save some bucks, the holidays got me broke hahaha.
But i would like to have the contact info for John.
Could you please PM me with that?
Thanks my friend

Start it to work on the vest and pants.
As a base color i am using vallejo deck tan and a dab of german grey.
Adding vallejo stone grey for light and will add white for final lights...

Daniel, I always seem to be catching up on these mini marvels of yours, looks great.

Ir is an honor coming from you mate.
Cheers

I have fnished the vest and pants.
Layed the base color for the gaiters using light grey ( vallejo).
I replaced the pompon for a slight bigger size using brown stuff,then added the details .
I've finished the tails and painted the Fleur-de-Lys on them.
I added the hand i've cutted from a spare arm i had and added the ruffle cuff.

I've finished the powdered wig, added the herringbone lace on the cuffs, finished the sword with the scabbard and sword knot.
French officers wore a mixture between gold and scarlet lace for their sword knots.

Starting the work on the flag now...

Working om the crowns at the moment, a painstaking process , but worth the time invested.

Thanks Kev
The lace om the cuffs are done.
I am almost finishing on side of the flag, but it is going to be a slow process, fixing areas , repaintimg others andpit the details in on the crowns.
Cheers
