Hi Daniel

Thanks for the updates my friend , looking really good ...each one has his own individual character

Very impressive uniform as well

How do you find P3 against Vallejo ?

Thanks for sharing

Happy benchtime and stay safe

Thanks Kev,
They are both great, p3 dries out a little shinnier than vallejo, but nothing you can't fix by adding Mate medium.
I jave to say my latest favorite paints are scale 75.
Cheers

Nap, I've only used P3 metallics, so take this for what you will, but I find them far superior to Vallejo or Reaper (the paint I use the most).

Trying to finish these chaps and started on the Gendarme ( red coat) .

Hi Daniel

They all look good but the gendarme in particular very flamboyant with the red/ gold .......interesting your sculpting a arm ?

Look forward to more updates when possible

Started some mod on another figure from Steve Barber, this gendarme is a standard bearer, i decided to have him with unbuttoned coat.
Modified the entire front, some on the tails andnadded lace.

Hi Daniel

Of course you got the putty out and changed it ...so blooming good at it as well .....looking good

Can't beat a standard bearer IMO

Have you ever done a mounted kettle drummer ?

Thanks my.friend, i have already ordered 4 figures fro
Triguard to convert to the Gendarmes, one is a british light dragoon trumpeter from the AWI series which i am planning to convert to a Gendarme trumpeter.
As for the kettle drummer it crossed my mind to do it, just gotta find the right pose.

Finished sculpting the modifications on the coat, primed the figure, added the painted head.

Hi Daniel

Great result on the open coat ....always nice to see your reworking

Priming brings the figure together nicely .....again the face has so much character

Thanks for sharing
