Johan,
In person that jacket does look more brown than grey. At least to my eyes
Matthew is right about the sky blue for the facings on an infantry uniform.
That yellow on mine is because I chose to portray him as cavalry.
Sorry I didn't think to mention that to you
Good catch Matthew

Thanks Craig.

Well, I'm starting on this figure this weekend ! He's got a nice pose, with his left foot on a rock ... I'm thinking of making him go up a slope, with one or two dead pine trees (as fallen trees)

... can't help it but Old West and American Civil War always make me think of pine trees - shade of my past, as a kid I used to play "soldier in blue" against indians or rebels in a place where there were lots of pines ... pine cones of course came in handy as ammunition.
