Thanks for the updates

Happy benchtime

Can't wait to see one of these Drummers as a Bust.
Take care my friend.

Back to work on these little fellas after a couple weeks , shelves collapsed on my workbench , many finished figures will have to be glued some parts, it sucks but that prompted me to get a new workbench and reorganize my entire work area.
First use of my new bench and working on the Livreé Royal or king's Livery lace..

Hi Daniel

OMG , nightmare ref shelves , sorry to hear this , with your skill you will sort the injuries out

As for this beauty , looks very work on the lacing ...as I expected , still find it hard to believe how much detail the smaller scales have

Thanks for sharing the update , look forward to seeing more

Happy new benchtime

I agree, the lace work is excellent, especially in this scale.

The recovery of broken figures is still in the works, but happy to have a new workbench and sometimes when things happen something better come up of it

Thanks for kimd words W, i am glad you like them

 

[MarquisMini]

I have finished this drummer today, he was 80% done and it was time to bring him to the fray.
I adapted the drum from a left out figure , added a left hand over the drum and used wire for the drum sticks and putty for the drum sticks ends..

 

[Nap]

Hi Daniel

Your certainly catching the "air" ...lovely painting and now the drummer marches onto the ground ....like the hand positioning, and the painting of him , good fleur de lys on the drum

Thanks for update and more views of the battle field

Just a question did you wargame as well ?

[MarquisMini]

Started on the lace for this converted drummer...

 

[MarquisMini]

Started another conversion , tgis is going to be the officer on horseback ( arrow) .
I have used a left out figure from Triguard, a French general .
Got rid of the head and right arm , built some areas of the coat and added the lace with lead foil and a bare head which i sculpted his wig.

 

[MarquisMini]

Made some progress on this gallant fella...

 

[MarquisMini]

As if i don't have enough work with these fellas, i have received an additiional 12 troopers .
The are Brits that i will convert to French Guards simce Triguard Miniatures still does not have French Guards kneeling at ready.
I am adding a French triooer head and french hands with musket, they properly into these chaps.
I had to clip some metal parts , sanding and fixed some areas with a mix of Magic sculp and Brownstuff.

 

[Waterlooman]

Excellent painting and detailing.
