I have finished most of the figue, including rhe face, still need some work on the gaiters and hat.
The figure will look like that, right hand will be on top of the drum , the left hand will hold the drum sticks.
The drum you see in the picture was cut off from another spare figure, i've made some mods and the other 9 will be identical.

Daughter and i started working on the battlefield groundworks...

 

[MarquisMini]

I have finished the officer, Philippe, Comte de Anterroches , he was a captain of a Grenadier unit of the Gardes Françaises and the one who invite the "Englishmen to fire first".
The other 4 finished troopers will be the second line, the first line of troopers will be kneeling at ready.

Thanks Kev, G was happy to help, it is good to keep these kids busy and away from electronic devices.
As far as discipline, The Frenchies lacked that under pressure but nevertheless brave as hell, the Brits had more discipline and fire power, i read that to counteract that the French always added German regiments to brigand with the regulars due to their rigid martial pace and fighting nature.

 

[MarquisMini]

I am almost done with this Officer flag bearer, jus few details to be added.
I did make the St Louis cross hanging left of his chest.
I have another bunch of troopers ready to be finished as well.
