Catching up on this scene, Daniel. Stunning work, as always.
Another possibility for a home might be the Museum of the American Revolution, in Philadelphia. The Executive Director happens to be a figure enthusiast.

Hey Don!
Lomg time no see my friend, i am glad to read your comments again.

Excellent, each face gets better, there is so much character in each one which considering the scale is really impressive. Good luck with the museums.

Cheers Simon

 

[MalcC]

As Simon says the faces just get better and better as do the figures.
Your work in a museum, what an honour.

[MarquisMini]

Thank you very much Kev, Simon and Malc!

This continental Light dragoon is almos done.
I added a plume on his Tarleton hat, i did a little bit of surgery on a leftover French grenadier hat and adapted to this one.
I still need to research the color of the feathers, i mostly seen white.
Next step will be some details on the carbine/ musket , finishing some lights on the hands and paint the scabbard..

 

[Nap]

Hi Daniel

Nice bit of work on the Tarleton , white for the crest certainly is seen on the majority of references ....will make a interesting contrast.

The uniform itself looks really good

Shaping up to be a fine addition

Thanks for sharing

Happy benchtime

Coming together nicely, I like the highlights on his coat they are going to standout quite nicely when placed on the diorama.

Cheers Simon
