I've finished the gaiters today, still need to paint the garter in dark grey, outline the entire figure and paint shoes/base.
Almost there...

Love it a glass of wine on the bench, the ultimate rest and recreation and BBQ to follow what more could a man want.

Cheers Simon

Haha, cheers Malc!

 

[MarquisMini]

I have finished these chaps , 17 to go!

 

[MarquisMini]

I have cleaned and primed the 3 figures on horseback.
One is a Marshal, the other a mounted officer from one of the Regiments present at Minden, and a Mounted cavry office which i will convert to a grenadier de France ....

 

[MarquisMini]

I am keeping the base colour of the horses simple, no complicated Mixes.
I am painting the base coat of one of the mounted officers and converted foot figure with a mix of Vallejo deck tan and a dab of german grey and japanese uniform.
The foot officer belomgs to the regiment of Rouergue ( mounted officer)
White/ grey coat with red collar , cuffs and waistcoat, yellow hat lace and buttons.
The foot figure is from anotger regiment present at Minden, Comdé,
Grey/ white coat with red cuff and waiscoat, yellow buttons and hat lace in yellow.

 

[Waterlooman]

Excellent work with the squad - and the newbies look really nice.

Wow this is expanding at a great pace, will be a nice contrast with the officers in the grey/white coats, a separate point of interest.

Cheers Simon
