Hello Planeteers,
I received these figures from Trident few days ago.
One is a continental artillery officer and the other is an officerof foot.
So , i will convert both to a french officer of Engineers and the other pointing with hand will be the artilery officer.
Cheers

I have finished the lapels, the stand up collar and buttons on thencuffs, lapels and back of the coar.
Vest has been done as well.
I have primed the fig. With automotive Self etching primer as usual.
I finished the wig, and painted the base color for the hat, coat, lapels and cuffs, vest and pants.
Hat: german grey and a dab of flat basic skintone
Brim on the hat: vallejo glorious gold, wash of sepia mixed with yellow ink
Coat: Andrea basic blue with dab of black and dab of GW fenris blue
Lapels, collar and cuffs: German grey with a dab of black
Vest and pants: vallejo game gory red, wash of GW carrobourg Crimson.

Another great conversion on the way , you obviously find green stuff easy to work with ....any tips?

Must admit the way you aporoach figures is very clever , like the headwear and this faces ..great

The whole Artillery is going to look fabulous

Kev, i have learned two things about greenstuff, one is that you want to make sure you mix it well and innequal parts, the other is to keep it wet while you working with it.
I generally dip the sculpting tool in water while i am working the greenstuff , otherwise it has a tendency to stick to the tool.
Keep in mind that is kind of hard to sand it off, unlike brownnstuff.
