Outstanding Herr Markgraf! Your command group is a diorama in its own right.

Prost!

Indeed,
I remember when we were out of the Academy Fridays, a couple of them always end up inviting themselves to my house, my parents were not very happy havimg to host 3 hungry sailors all weekend.

Hahah , you will have your answer on my next post Kev ;-)

 

[MarquisMini]

I layed the basic colors for the first 3 chaps.
One is the Marquis de La Fayette in the typical high rank Continental Officer, dark blue with Buff facimgs.
I decided to paimt one officer in the Maryland Regiment, Dark blue coat with red Facings.
The other figure is a Militia Officer, i was eager to paint a brown coat with yellow or red facings.
Here are my references...

Hi Daniel

Nice basecoat on these fellow , like the militia uniform .....another 3 great pieces are on the way

The wide legged one has obviously waddled off looking for his horse ...lol

What’s the book ?

Nice start with quite a bit of variety amongst them, they will certainly add interest on the diorama.

Hi Kev,
In my humble opiniin the book is not worth it, the illustratiions are Amazing, but at least on the French uniforms i can tell you there are many inaccuracies.
As for our wide legged man, he wouldn't find a horse ( poor Lad) I have better plans....

 

[MarquisMini]

Almost done with this Militia Officer,
Still need to finish the face, hair and one side of the hat that is missing, not sure what happened there .
I will complete the these items in the next few hours.

 

[Briggsy]

The militia officer is really nice, love the brown and red together. The "space filler" sat on the floor in the painting will be a very nice touch.

Cheers Simon

Hi Daniel

Great illustration you’ve got there , the fellow on the ground will be interesting to see

As for the militia ...that’s come out rather splendid , do like the painting on the brown ...the spontoon ....did you make that ..looks good

Looking forward to seeing more

Happy painting

[MarquisMini]

Thank you Kev and Simon!

I am adding 2 more Gabions to the scene, there is only one and that wouldn't be realistic.
The Militia officer is done.
Aa for the wide legged chap, head has been chopped off, legs have been twisted to a position to more less resemble the one im the picture.
