Kev, for the folds and most of big area's work i use a combination of Magic sculp mix with a little bit of Brown stuff, for the hair and minor details i use green stuff.
Cheers

Made good progress on the trumpeters.
Primed them and layed the basic colors.

Hi Daniel

Cracking putty result there , priming always brings a piece together

Good start on the colour

Look forward to more

And let the lace begin!

 

[MarquisMini]

Almost done with this chap, as you noticed, the back of the tail coats are not done yet, the purpose is to place the figure on the horseback and then build the rest of the tail, i want to make a realistic look of the folds laying over the equipage on the back of the saddle., a more natural and realistic look.

Thanks Kev, altough, i mist confess that i was tempeted to build those tails many times before the hirses arrive, but patience is a virtue...i guess

 

[MarquisMini]

And these chaps are almost close to be cometed except for the back of their coat tails and some outlining and fixing areas of the lace work.
The horses should arrive pretty soon.
For the trumpet i have used the original part that came with this figure, being a AWI part it was much shorter than the long french one of the SYW, so i did some moda using plastic parts, sanding them and some putty.

Hi Daniel

That's dashed good neat painting ...very colourful fellows as well

Nice work on the trumpet ...no idea how you can work in such a small scale !

Will there be a trumpet banner ?

Thanks for sharing

Look forward to seeing more and hear those horses come galloping in

Absolutely!, the banner is a must.
Just waiting for a Lead sheet i bought a couple weeks ago, then i will start the detail work on.
The other trumpet and horses will arrive in about 2 days i think, so, waiting to put all he pieces together.
Cheers

I have added the bands, strips or whatever the name is on the back using lead foil.

Taking a littpe break from my 28mm Grenadiers de France to continue some work on these 40mm chaps.
I still have few figures and will convert some.
Here is one i've started yesterday.
Original figure is, again from Triguard miniatures SYW Mounted French officer.
Perfect figure to convert to many other corps of cavalry.
He'll be a Gendarme de la Garde du Roi, and will be on horseback along the trumpeter and perhaps a banner bearer..
I have placed a head that was already painted from a figure that was " decomissioned".
