WIP 40mm "Les Officiers", Yorktown 1781

[MarquisMini]

I have finished the face and wig, boots and increased the lights on the whites.
I clipped off his Brown Bess musket and replaced for the French Charleville musket, it was easy since the size is identical, i've clipped off the top and bottom of the hand, got rid of the Brit musket and separated the bayonet which i glued on top and added the musket at the bottom.
