Thanks my friend,
Yes, still using some Citadel for the reds

Officer and horse almost ready.
I've made his coat a tad Darker red than the troopers.
In general, the officer's coats were of better material.

Thanks Kev,
Lots of work om that lace.
Answering you question regardin the little banner on the trumpet, i've seen some illustrations with and without it, i think i will go for the non banner look for now

Best regards

I worked on the trumpet, simce it was a short trumpet from another era , i did add wire and lots of shaping, sanding and added a thin wire for the cords.
The horse the trumpeter was mounted is supossed to be white or grey, so y did re-painted the horse as well.

 

[MarquisMini]

Almost done with these chaps, few details on the housings , the trumpeter's face is not done yet and minor details on the hats..
