I have finished the coat.
I added the straps for the Gorget, added the buttons at either end of it and paint it the strap as a red russian leather, but there was not real regulation that specify the material or color until pronably later in 1786.
I have finished the ponytail with bow.
For the coat i ja e used scale 75 Abyssal blue, added citadel fenris grey for the lights, this is a womderful combination for the kind of blue i want it to achieve, a dark blue uniform will fade into a greyish blue especialy in the wes tindies and caribbean, the elements definitely will fade these coats that way.
As for the shadows , i added black to the base color.
For the seams i've used vallejo Lutwaffe uniform WW2 which works great.
Next step will be the boots ...

Fine lining on those seams as well

I have sculpted the hand and placed the sword, finished the sword and sword knot.
I had 28mm gabions from a project, so i put 2 gabions together for proper size and that will be part of the ground works

Daniel

It's a Ooooohhhhh from me ....looking great , might be the contrast with the gold of the sword knot but those blues of the uniform really seem to "pop" ...nice one

Like the gabion use

Following right on your wing
