WIP 40mm Regiment de Gatenois and Agenais, Yorktown 1781

[MarquisMini]

I added the mustaches ( the grenadier's signature) layed the base color for the bearfur cap usimg vallejo german cammo black/brown, i painted the base color for the front plate isimg testors gold enamel and added few washes of vallejo sepia, outlimed the details usimg vallejo sepia ink.
Painted the eyes and added some shades on the faces.
I layed the purple base color on the lapels using scale 75 sunset purple, i happen to be looking for a vallejo pure.and came acroos this unopened bottle i did not remember i had.
I love the color!

 

[MarquisMini]

I have paimted the basecolor of the vest and pants using formula P3 ironhull grey, added some gry blue from vallejo to it for the gaiters....

 

[MarquisMini]

One of the grenadiers is almost finished, all left to do is taking care of the gaiters and add the musket

Thanks Kev, that is the idea since garments wore of different materials and sources, so , i believe it's gotta be a difference on the color , and wear and tear as well.
Cheers
