WIP 54mm Labayen, Dillon officer 1779

[clrsgt]

I was never a fan of the Labayan figures way back when, but you are doing a smashing job on this one and the flag looks great.

Hi Daniel

I think I might push the highs slightly a little more on the cuffs ?

Flag...slow and painstaking work ...but worth it

Thanks for sharing

Thank you so much for your comments.
These figures are classic, and i did a lot of research on the French uniforms of the period, i only could say that i love the details on them.
Best regards

I think I missed it, Daniel-what material do you use for your flags? Lead foil, or something else? I use thin aluminum foil, like candy wrappers, laminated with CA glue, for mine.

Prost!

Hi Brad, i've used a paper flag i had for many yearsinguerimg aroumd.
I do normaly use lead foil but did not have it at the moment so i've decided to use the paper flag.

Almost there, still lots of fixing to do...

Looking good Daniel ...the flag I mean ...but I am sure you do as well...lol

If I may the words VIN CES look slightly off centre in comparison with the ones above ?

Must admit I don't envy you painting these ...but a great result always comes from your flying bench ..lol

Thanks for sharing
