You make it look easy though it's not, at least in this scale.That is a genuine characterisitic of a man who has mastered his art and you have certainly mastered yours.Beautiful as usual.

Thanks Kev, i learned that the secret on painting these horses is a well diluted paint( almost a wash) and select the right color for contrast.

I have built the pole band straps r and holding leather holster for the pole.....

 

[MarquisMini]

I finished the other side of the guidon.
The inscription or motto would have sayed NOMEN LAUDESQUE MANEBUNT, fame and reputation stays.
I need to retouch the pole , place it on the holster and built the hand holding it....

Daniel

Thanks my friend, the 1779 order states that only 2 guidons were assigned per regiment.
All of this changed and there ar enot many sources since the ragged arse revolutionaries burned most of them

 

[MarquisMini]

And this Dragoon it's dome!.
All i am waiting to do is finish the horse and details on the Conde dragoons and this vignette will be finished.

 

[Borek]

Very nice Daniel . Other comprehensive vignette goes to the end. Great work. I love dioramas and vignettes, and your threads will always please me. I'm already looking forward (and I'm very curious) to your next project .

Cheers Borek
