WIP Fusiliers of the Soissonois regiment 1781

[MarquisMini]

Hello planeteers , these two Fusiliers are the latest on my workbench.
Continuing with my Yorktown diorama , i am planning to add 4 more fusiliers marching in addition to these 2 and the flagbearer , officer and drummer.
the pictures with the image of the paints is what i have used for the mixing base on the white, which i used the base from the Andrea white set ,added a dab of japanese uniform and a dab o black.
For the crimson i've use vallejo game Gory red , dab of andrea basic red , a dab of Vallejo Sunset rose and a little dab of Windsor & Newton acrylic Alizarin crimson, which gives a bright shade to the base color.
Hope you guys like.
Cheers

Man, they just keep coming!!!!
Is this the base mix you always use for the uniform white? It's almost got a yellow base to it.

colin, it is a creamy kakhi white , but i have basecoated several figs using the Andrea white system base with a little bit of Japanese and black.
Not really too far from the base color but definitively stronger.

that is a really nice mix , i believe is very similar to the mix i've used.
I think i will order the ocher from Andrea , cause i have yellow ochre and don't know if it is the same.
Thanks Eduardo!
