Completed Guide d'état-major, 1794

[Lasalle]

Hi all! The original figurine is "gunner of the revolution", just to be clear that free with the magazine "Figurines" ... I wanted to change it in a "Guide of the revolutionary period (1792-1794)". La planche to whom I am inspired is featured in the book "Guides and Gardes des Généraux en chef, 1792-1815". I have changed the head and arms (Metal Modeles) and hat (Historex).

Very nice Andrea, apart from a great brushwork you arw bringing early revolutionary uniforms to the miniature world.
I often find that there are not many works on the pre-revo. or early period.
You also achieved a great base work, simple, yet magnifique scenery

Best regards

Thanks Marc, Davide, Pete, John Marquis!!
Marquis I have a bit of documentation of some uniforms of the pre-revolutionary period, in particular Guides, ADC and Chasseur a cheval, and so I tried to make this figurine...

Best regards

Another nice one Andrea!
The small adjustments makes a completely new figure... very effective!

Well done

the good thing about Metal Modeles is that the turnbacks are wide enough to resemble the more "fat" turnbacks of the later uniform changes.

 

[Lasalle]

Yes, it's true, you're right. The MM are pieces that make easy more conversions.

 

[MarquisMini]

Yes they are.
I really love the shape of those turnbacks, very well sculpted and shaped.
