Following a bath in oven cleaner here is how the MkII version is looking at the moment.
They are Fredericus Rex 54mm flats. http://www.fredericus-rex.de/

Roger.

Just a bit more done to these. The faces and headgear are finished and now moving on to the basecoat for the facings and breeches.

Roger.

Further progress on these two.

Roger.

That's a nice looking duo Roger !

Will continue watching .

Joe

Hi Roger,
Great job so far. Liking this period more and more.
Cheers
Mat

Excellent!!!
Great shade of blue.
Are these part of a larger set?

Colin

The energizer bunny is working tonight

Thanks Joe.

Thanks Mat, it's certainly a very colourful and interesting period of history. All the talk of British grenadiers, drummers and Badgers request for a Culloden figure has set the cogs turning in that direction.

Colin, there are other fusiliers in the range which I have but these two will be based together as Regiment 38. The plan is to paint the others as different regiments, whenever I get around to 'em. As suggested above Culloden is piquing my interest at the moment.

Daniel,

Roger.

Nice work so far.

Marc

Cheers Marc. I've since put on another layer of blue. While that's drying today I'll deepen the shadows on the red facings and linings of the coats.

Roger.

can't wait for progress pics, lovely work my friend.

, These I do like! .. Great definition on both face and hands, and lovely shading. So much depth. Excellent work Roger! considering they have been 'Steam Rollered'. , I really do like them.

!

Mark

Daniel, Thanks very much.

Mark, cheers mate, steam rollering is the way ahead... you know it makes sense.

Roger.

Moving on. Tomorrow shadows for the coats.

Roger.

I am looking forward to these!

Seriously, I am! Great work Roger!

Regards,

Mark.

Cheers Mark.

Great progress, Roger! I've enjoyed following your threads as you've refined your topic the past few years. I think you have mastered the "German technique" (I made that up, to say, you excel at painting flats )

Prost!
Brad

Thank you Brad. I had a strange feeling you'd like these.

Roger.

Nice work on the whites Roger. Do you normally paint as dark an out-line separating the waistcoat and sash from the pants or are you experimenting. I do like it though.

Cheers Ken

Cheers Ken.
It's a bit of an experiment, everything I paint I have to have an experiment with, not sure if I should blend it out a bit but it doesn't look quite as stark in real life.

Roger.
