Questioned my fundus...:
When painting, it could be complicated, taking the bearskin variant of the elite companies, because the guys then still had tambour tresses on their sleeves, which are not engraved ...



In the helmet version, it's the usual simple version in eclectic colors and white horsehair ...:

Beautiful!Chronos is progressively building a very impressive Napoleonic line of figures.

Oda.

Perhaps you are right about embroidering the sleeves. But there are pictures where elite mouth musicians do not have these embroidering.

Nice. Particularly like the choice of heads. If tackling the bearskin version – and to ensure the crispness required of the figure – I’d probably make the tambour tresses from detail paper or make decals. They’d be far too complicated to paint on the figure accurately otherwise.

Jeff, what is 'detail paper'? I'm trying to figure out what medium to use on 18th c French uniform lace on Historex figures. Thanks. Jay

Absolutely right!

Only Tambours and Tambour-Majors wore those tresses - not trumpeters.






The same, as it was for the royal French dragoons before the revolution...:

A.k.a. Layout Paper. I’ve used a Daler Rowney A4 pad in the past. The paper is only 45gsm (less than half the weight of, say, normal ‘office’ paper) and prints nicely in my inkjet. I’ve used very fine key lines (0.15mm) drawn on computer, in black on this stock for such things as Hungarian Knots and painted them in acrylic after sticking them onto a figure with PVA. The paper is so fine it doesn’t really look as though it’s been stuck-on, even on 54mm figures.

Hope this helps.

Jeff

Thanks Jeff. I'll give that a try.
