    Daniel,

    The scope of this diorama is just amazing (showing incredible devotion)...and you are obviously improving your technique exponentially with each and every figure you complete. This front line is an exceptional beginning, already showing signs of being fantastic themselves, nevermind as part of the big picture. Really looking forward to seeing the final diorama - its vast array of regimental colors, and the total breadth of subject. A truly one of a kind undertaking!! - Julia

    How to make tricorne hats

    Can anyone tell me how to maken tricorne hats. I find it rather difficult to maken them myself and these figures seems to have self made hats.

    Hello Dutch.Well...., making tricorne hats is difficult, believe me. I have tried several times in all sizes and shapes and find that the easiest way is to have some sort of basic shape and build over it with Procreate or Magic S.
    To me, the greatest solution was finding the Historex pieces and parts, they have a great range including the Fleur-de-lys and grenades for the turnbacks.
    Contact me via Private message if you have more questions.
    Regards.

    Tricorne hats

    Thanks for your reply.Now I know I'm not the only one having difficulties making hats. I did try the Stan Catchpool way ( you know, from the old Mil Mod), but thas wasn't a succes either.
    So, if anyone has some more ideas...
