A little more progress... The red and yellow braiding and flounders, brass buckles, girdles, cartridge pouch, shoulder belt, worsted plume and the small book in the left hand.

Getting very close

Colin

Lovely progress Colin. Would it be possible to take some close ups?

Thanx Tony... I'll try, but my camera is shite I'll see if I can zoom the pics I've taken

Very nice Colin, can't wait to see this one finished

Cropped down the last set of pics... they aren't great but...

Thanx Daniel, it's almost there... boots, gloves, walking stick, sword/scabbard/slings and sabretache... All the finickity bits. Hopefully by the end of this week.

Colin

Blowing through this one young man. He looks really nice....love the touches of yellow with the blue and red uniform. Looking forward to seeing him complete.

Colin

Thanx Colin
I agree, a regular trooper would have white epaulettes, braids and flounders, shako furniture and waterfall and the girdle would be blue and red. The shots of yellow, red and silver gave a little element of distraction fron an otherwise simple uniform. I too look forward to the finish on this guy so I can try out the MS on the OTHER project

Colin

Okay, This figure is complete. All that's left is the base and groundwork.


Thanx for looking in

Colin

Looking great colin!! , I think the lace looks fine to me, the combination of the dark blue and your red is awesome.
Keep up the awesome work!!

Thanx Daniel,
The base and groundwork are now done. I'll post it as a "Completed" work here.

Thanx again for your support

Colin

Good work Colin,
I really like your treatment of the tunic, the navy and scarlet are not the easiest to paint correctly, you are right on the button Mate.
Looking forward to the finish of this fellow.
All the best,
Keith

Looks Great indeed Colin!!! Good choice of colours that you did!!
Wainting for the complete figure

Regards
Pedro

Thanx Keith and Pedro
The box art showed alot of buff and off whites... Didn't catch my imagination so I found out who else was on this campaign and liked the red facings. The other choice was lemon yellow and that didn't do it for me either. The red and blue just comes off as really strong.
