WIP 28mm Regiment de La Reine 7 Years war

[MarquisMini]

I stsrted working on another 3 fusiliers, the coats are almost done.
As for the cartridge boxes, i have paint them on vallejo read leather as a base color and tried GW screamer pink with a well diluted mix and apploed few washes of it with a better result than carrobourg crimson....

 

[MarquisMini]

All left to do on these chaps is hats, faces, fusil and shoes.....

I don't know how you get so much detail on these tiny figures. The drummer is superb by the way.

Hi Daniel. Yes, that was exactly what I meant. Great. I like the linkage of the action, the reaction of the characters. Very nice, dramatic and action diorama . Thanks I did not have to look

While i am almost done with these fusiliers, i decided to start getting this general ready.
The original figure is the Prince of Soubise-Rohan, a French Marshal.
I will just paint a random Marshal for this ocassion.

 

[MarquisMini]

I've finished the 3 fusiliers and place them on the fire line with the regiment....

Lovely work.
Mark

Thanks Mark

 

[MarquisMini]

I layed the base colors on the officer.
I will replace the baton for a sword to make it more suitable for the action....

Hi Daniel

That firing line looks great and lethal !..a lovely bit of work .

Like the addition of a Marshall ...leading from the front ...I quite like the baton but as you said not in keeping with battle!

Happy painting

Good afternoon Kev, yes!, i love the baton .
Unfortunately the figure does not have the lace on it for to be a Marshal , perhaps it was a simpler coat worn in battle but my thinking of jist painting a regular officer on horseback is that a Marshal.would have been with the general.staff for the most part, and i don't have the space nor the figures to create that.
Plus a marshall wouldn't be so close to the volleys from the enemy.
The breast plate and coat makes a perfect figure for officer.
They wore a breasplate in battle.
Cheers my friend
