75mm 21st Jaeger regiment

[Viking Bob]

Great job.
There are some imperfections in the painting.
This regiment from 1808 to 1814 had light blue shoulder straps with a yellow number 3 - this is apparently not visible on the figurine due to the backpack straps, so this is more for knowledge than for correction. At the same time, the color of the uniform in the photo looks blue-green (sea green), but should be dark green, almost black. Non-commissioned officers' galloon on the collar and cuffs should not be orange, as in the figurine's photo, but gold. The non-commissioned officer's cockade at that time had color sectors that were not orange, but a mixture of orange and black. Similar to the same colors as the colored tassels of non-commissioned officers on their shakos.

The buckle on the middle strap of the backpack should be steel. The strap used to fasten the ends of the greatcoats roll was black in the Jaeger regiments.

Thank you for the reply and I take note of the errors.
The photos have come out lighter than I wanted but that was my error. The green is darker than shown and I have painted 3. in yellow on the shoulder strap.I have used this picture as a guide but it's not clear on the tassels on the shako. I have tried to read some of the text in the book BUT google translate is not good.


I know that this pack is a modern reproduction.

I have used NMM to paint the gold I will make it brighter.

A good book, it explains a lot of subtleties, and in general virtually all line infantry is covered for the period 1802-1815+.
The satchel you showed is good, but I’m not sure if it was trimmed with white thread. In images of that era, the satchels are completely black - probably the threads were undyed (the color of natural flax or hemp), but were subsequently inked with wax or charcoal. The threads on the museum backpack are also black.

In any case, your work is worthy of respect.

Sorry Bob, a little behind in my posting!

This is a beautiful figure and I love the experiment with the background for camera work.
Well done my friend!

Cheers,
Ken

Thank you, I tried looking for backpacks on line but drew a blank. I did find a site but in Russian and had to use limited knowledge to get around.
Thank you again for the kind comment.
Regards
Bob

Thank you Ken, I do like the Avanpost figures, they are beautiful to put together, superb sculpts too.
As for the photography, I am still getting my head around Ai.
Thanks again Ken

I liked this on Facebook and I like it here! Nice work Bob, this looks very good. And we can always learn a few extra bits and pieces about the uniforms as we go along......

Cheers Nigel, the book I have is very good but Google translate misses bits off. Not only that but it will not work some of the time.
Thanks for looking in on here.

You can ask questions about some Russian terms in a separate topic or in private messages. I can explain most of these terms.

Nice clean work Bob!
As others have already mentioned, I too am impressed with the one shot with the forest background. You really pulled that off well.

Thank you Joe,
I cannot take credit for the background forrest. That was created in Photoshop and using artificial intelligence. All you had to do was remove the background and added forest. Photoshop did the rest. I was surprised how well it worked.
I did paint the figure though.
