Pete, You're travelling from San Diego to Chicago for good Mexican food? :o :) Barry

Dan, Helpful site. Thanks. Barry

Joe - I see what you mean about the outlining. I'll go over some of those areas. Anders & Joe - I might add a highlight here and there. Maybe on the face? Brad - Thanks. Saturday was fun. I'm glad to see you Colorado guys showing up with figs at the Gathering. A few years ago, there would...

I'll be there Friday afternoon. Barry

Well, Here it is. Again, not perfect, but it has been a very enjoyable experience. Thanks to all who have posted comments. Feel free to critique the painting as well. Barry

Andy, I'll see if I can post some pics of some modifications I've done to a couple of Historex figs. Maybe it will be of some help. Barry

Gary, Actually, after looking again at the book, it says that a contemporary German drawing shows a red turban on a 3rd CLD. Below is one of the illustrations I've seen of this. There is another in "The American Soldier" by Philip Katcher. It seems that there is a lot of mystery surrounding...

It would be, wouldn't it. Barry

Bob, Great idea for a project! I think one of the worst things we can do is to fool ourselves into thinking that we are always right. I think we need to see these events as part of our growing process. If they are ignored or explained away, we learn nothing from them. Barry

Thanks Bob! Gary - Thanks for the offer, I might just take you up on that. One of my dream projects is a vignette with a 3rd CLD about to visit some serious destruction upon a 17th LD at the battle of Cowpens as in one of Troiani's painting of the battle in the book "Soldiers in America"...

Thanks Andy. About the best I can offer as an SBS is the series of photos I have posted already. I didn't take any other pictures. Sorry. As far as sculpting hints, I'm probably not the best one to ask. I would say, however, to just grab some sculpey and start sculpting. I sculpted the...

Very nice Daniel. Great weathering. Barry

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone! Anders - I think I might try a 54mm sculpt next. I'm better at painting in that scale. I might stick with the 18th century. Maybe a British 17th light dragoon? Terry - I'd love to see the same person who did Verlinden's Tarleton bust do a CLD...

Ernest, That really is beautiful work. I love that standard. Barry

Thanks Gray. Yes, it is entirely scratchbuilt. The single epaulette on the left shoulder signifies his rank as a lieutenant. Captains would have one on the right and colonels would have two. I put a plain shoulder strap on his right shoulder as shown in the drawings I have. Barry

Thanks guys! Gary - I know what you mean about the turban. I wasn't all that happy with it when I finished it. I decided that I'd rather get on to the next one instead of working this one to death. Barry

Well, I finally finished the sculpting. It's not perfect by a long shot, but I'm happy with it considering it's my first sculpt. On to the painting... Barry

Happy Birthday Jean-Philippe! Barry

Pawel, It's looking good. Please do post step-by-step photos. Barry

Costas, I am also sorry to hear about your disaster. I'm glad nobody was hurt. I have a large stockpile of tools, kits and paints that I've accumulated over the years. Please feel free to let me know what I can help you with. Don't give up. Barry
