WIP 40mm, Grenadier Officer , Bourbon Regiment 1758

[MarquisMini]

Hello folks,
Here is another conversion from a spare figure i had from Front Rank ( AWI series).
I am converting this chap to a grenadier officer, the reason/s for the choice on this Regiment is their color combination as well as the rather interesting button arrangement on the double vertical pockets on the ever Fancy French uniforms .
This regiment had white coats with red turndown collar, vest and cuffs, troussers were white.
The buttons were pewter and false silver /white lace on their hats, grenadiers wore bear fur hats.
Cheers!

Hi Daniel

Again a fine conversion work on this , like the way you can see the potential in a donor figure

Where is the reference from ?

Primed up the piece looks so right

Bring on the colour !!

Happy benchtime

PS Thought perhaps there might be a Bourbon biscuit as well ...LOL

I have finished the folds on the coat tails.
Primed and layed the base red color for the vesr using the following mix:
Base: vallejo scarlet + dab of scale 75 forest green.
Lights, base plus more scarlet, last lights i've added fluorescent red ( vallejo)
Shadows, base plus black.
As for the cuffs and collar i am using Citadel new contrast as a base.

For the base color of the coat i am using vallejo off white, a dab of english uniform and a dab of black.

Made good progress on this chap, finished the white coat and the red on the vest and cuffs, the bearfur hat and modified the fusil to a model 1728 and finished it.
