Completed Officer of the Soissonois Regiment,1781

[Edorta]

"Look at the illustration,the grenadier is of the burbonnois regiment,crimson facings which shows the piping on the collar."

Hi Daniel, once again the Osprey book is wrong, not about the pipings maybe, but about the regiment name. This is a Soissonnais grenadier, Bourbonnais had white lapels piped black. THEY WANT TO TURN US MAD, DANIEL

Lol they are!.
Perhaps the Author intention's was portraying the Burbonnais Regiment with its Crimson facings ( see table 1776 Regulation) but with the new long coat tails and changes.
Don't forget that since it was a time of transition and garments had a lifespan (coats had 3 yrs) the regimental depots received cloth in the new facings to do the repair or alteration on their coats, so i am trying to give the author the benefit of the doubt regarding this color plate .
Or may be a printing error.

Thanks, Daniel! Ah, yes, Miniwelt! I remember how excited I was, when I first saw their catalog, the Seven Years War Prussians, I hadn't seen anything like them to that time.

You've done an excellent job of kitbashing, really great conversions!

Prost!
Brad

Brad , it is a shame they stop producing figures.
I personally love their 7 years war line,i bought a couple of the mounted figures.

The original body

I wish i was able to sculpt them!.
The actual body or torso if you may is from Modeles et Allures ,it is supossed to be 54mm but really it is a 60mm.
The actual uniform is from the 1767 Regulation uniform,without standing collar,wide turnbacks and large uniform side pockets with buttons all around.
So i did modify those items.
The head and hands are from JMD models,beautifully sculpted and detailed that i will recommend to anyone.
If you buy the heads it will bring various hands too,there is a set of heads 1 and set of heads 2 ,they are 65mm but i think it fit well on this figures.
The legs are from vid soldiers, former castings from Miniwelt.
The muskets are also from Vid soldiers in Poland.
Any other info you need i'll be more than happy to help.
Cheers

Ah! Marquis de Frankenstein I presume.
Hi Daniel,
