Finished the kettle drummer today.
I've place the figure and horse on the AWI diorama just for picture purposes.

Hello folks,
I've been working on another 2 horses , 2 more troopers and officer..
I've already modified the saddle andnadded the pistol holsters , paimted the base color and saddle /pistol holsters.

 

[MarquisMini]

The officers wore a liberal amount of lace on their uniforms, so, a painstaking process to add it all.
I also cutted his right arm and repositioned with somglue and putty, that way the arm holding the sword will lookas the officer is in the typical pose of a snobby officer.
I am planning to have 4 troopers, one officer, one standard bearer and already have the Timbalier.

Hi Daniel

Nice to see the horses being done , troopers look good , putty work is really well done and it shows on the officers lacework...very effective

Is that the horse the officer will have ?

Thanks for sharing

Keep up the good work Mate,

This whole project got by me - sorry I was not in on the early stages.
Another outstanding conversion job on these Guards.
Years ago, Greg DiFranco was quoted saying "Historex is essentially a medium". Daniel, you are demonstrating that, in your hands, Sean Judd's Trident sculpts are just a starting point for the projects that lie in your fertile imagination. I admire your fearlessness in using whatever is at hand to create your own figures. It is a pleasure to watch these projects come together.
All the best to you and your family. Stay safe, and sane, during this most unusual year!
