Completed Brunswick hornist 1815

[Przeborz]

Hello! My English is a mix of what I remember from primary school + Google Translator-sorry I ordered five 54mm figurines from EK Castings from Siberia Miniatures shop. I am satisfied with both the quality of the figures and the store's service. First on the bench is Brunswick hornist. I hope you like it.
Cheers Przebor

Hi Przebor

Great choice of subject , one that would make a excellent bust subject

Nice details on this one

Good start as well on the headwear

Nice selection of other figures ..do share those when you start on them

These figures are usually around 60mm especially the Napoleonic Range.

It's my mistake. the first figure is ek castings, the second is a chronos 1:30 and and EvD figure 65mm.

Some lovely figures there, long long time ago I converted the Airfix kneeling rifleman to an Avant-garde Jäger, lot of fun but these figures look.better.

Hi! My little progress in painting. I also have my own monster that "helps" me with painting. Hat is painted with a mixture of Vallejo paints - flat black, flat brown and cork brown.

Nice work on the face, the green trim looks just right. I see what you mean, I have been hunting pots of paint today that turned up in my little monsters doll carry cot! And she's back tomorrow, Aaargh. Enjoy the joy only a child can bring.

Children cause destruction I wish you a lot of patience, Simon! I will still work on the face and the rest. I don't know what shade of gray to use for the uniform.

Cheers Przebor

Hope this helps think you have Two shades of Grey colours in the Two different Brunswick units - Compagnies légères and Gelernte Jägers.

Thanks Waterlooman. This photo explains a lot. I need to use a lighter shade of gray, maybe Basalt Gray from Vallejo as a base.

Looking good, must be a pain working around the horn though, going to make a stunning figure.

I am coming late to this thread - I might add that the units called Compagnies légères were the volunteer detachments that fought in the role of Light Infantry wearing black uniforms while the grey clad units were formed from huntsmen - in a way an elite formation with special skills (sharpshooters) - comparable to the British Rifles.

Cheers, Martin

Thanks for the dose of information Martin!
