Thanks Paul, lets see how this fellow turn out , green it's a difficult color for me.
Best Regards
 
After work i had some little time to ley the base color for the lapels , cuffs and turnbacks.
I am painting this dragoon in the facing color of the Orleans Dragoons.
The facing color is pink, so i am using the same base color as of the 40mm Touraine Regiment.
Lapels and cuff
Base : vallejo pink and a dab of Andrea Napoleonic Red

For the tails of the coat i decided to use a different pink.
In this case it's vallejo brown pink.

Finished the face, i will probably wash it a couple times to blend in all the areas a little.
The coat is almost done, lapels done.
I took the original musket for two reasons, the detail was horrible and the year model was incorrect.
I have replaced the fusil by cut it exactly where the original was and place it on the trooper's hand , i also got rid of the bayonet and added a better one.
I will work next on the vest and pants.

He is looking really good Daniel.
You did a very good job with the green tones, so no need to worry about that colour mix ever again. With the facing colour the jacket is superb.
Progressing very well my friend, great work.

Paul



Paul, the color i've use on the lapels and cuffs is Vallejo Salmon Rose, the ones on the turnbacks is Brown pink, great color to use as a base for pink too.
best regards
