First of these that I've seen painted. Goof job. Wasn't the Languedoc Regiment a line unit?

Wonderful work Brian, stunning in fact. The face looks perfect and the leathers and his weapons are amazing.
Wonderful.

I'm not too sure just liked the figure and La Meridiana has him named as militia.

Really well done mate! It's a relaly good work! I love the clear blue, really nice!

 

[Don Johnson]

Brian, my apologies - that should have been "good" job. Very sloppy editing and proofreading - rest assured, the people responsible will be sacked! (Maybe I'm the "goof"??)
Regardless, I still love the figure! And yes, it was a line regiment, not militia. (Does La Meridiana use the same proofreaders that I use?)

The light blue and the leathers are amazing!
The whole mini is fantastic and outstanding presented!
Master class work! A real pleasure to watch!
Cheers,

Nice figure AND painting.

Great work Brian, but I think the blue of the facing color is darker, it is known as royal blue, and the grey of the uniform has not blueish tone.

 

[Krest063]

About dark blue faced color of the uniform is seen true

I realised the coat colour was white once I had finished painting it,as I had used Paynes Grey with oil paint which has a blue tone.The facings are a bit darker than mine.What if he was soaked with a downpour of rain and the dye in his waistcoat etc,had stained his jacket!!! I think i'll just call it a bit of artistic licence as I won't be painting him again.Thanks for the info Eduardo . I was already aware of the colour tones but I had nearly finished painting him by then.
