WIP Critique Chausseur à cheval - 1st Elite company

[pmfs]

Hi folks!

I´ve been working on another very small conversion in 1/32 scale.
The face you see is from Art Girona and the shako is from Andrea spare part.
Add more light on the left side of the face because is how the figure will be displayed on base.
Working with acrylics I will make another Frankenstein.
What you think?

Cheers,
Pedro.

I'll have to disappoint you,that's definitely not Frankie.It looks more like a very good 54mm face to me...

I meant Frankenstein because I add many parts of other figures to do this small conversions.
Thank you Oda!

Cheers,
Pedro.

No I disagree with Oda here, this is horrible.

Please stop now before you produce another great figure and everyone admires you more for it.

very nice start!

I really like this face painting, impatient to see whatis coming !
A little point, elite company wears colbacks not Shakos (But that's the regulation not always the rule, especially when the soldiers were campaigning)

The exception !!!

Fabrizio and Zastrow, thank for your comments.
I am not familiar with Napoleonic era as I am with other periods, but I will guide my work according to what I read from here: http://www.warlordgames.com/napoleons-eyes-and-ears-the-chasseurs-a-cheval-of-the-french-army/

Guidance from PF members are always in my "account".

Cheers,
Pedro.

Some plates for helping you :

After research, it seems that some hunters of elite companies, (always the 1st company of the 1st Squadron of the regiment) wore shakoes instead of colback,these shakoes were quite similar to those of grenadiers of the infantry regiments of the line ( except for the plate, and cords).

The face looks great! Looking forward to seeing the rest.

[Edorta]

I agree with the others, very good work in a small face.
Zastrow, thank you very much for all those useful plates.

Looks like a superb figure in the making.

One note about the plates that Zastrow provided to you is that the 17th and 18th Regiments of Chasseurs a cheval de la ligne were never actually formed so the numbers remained vacant from 1794 to 1815.

Yes a little forgetfulness, these regiments had defected during the revolution and joined the "Emigrés".
I do not know why L & H represented these regiments.

And something very easily done by all of us. I too wondered why they prepresented units that didn't exist!

Perhaps Just to introduce the theoretical distribution of colors.
