A Fixture
Finally done!.
As usual,struggled with the pics a little,so i took 2 sets with different lighting.
The mixes as follow:
Face and hands : Vallejo panzer Aces flesh palette
Coat :
Base colors : Vallejo pale sand,english uniform and japanese uniform,dab of black.
Lights, base plus pale sand,last lights pure white.
Shadows; base plus japanese uniform and last shadow used a little bit of black
Crimson Facings :
Base : Vallejo wargame color Gory red, andrea Crimson and a dab of Violet.
lights added basic red and last lights added flat orange'
shadows; base plus violet ,added some black for last shadows and outlining>
Buttonds,gorget and busby plate :
Base ; Testors Gold enamel,few washes of vallejo sepia and outlined details in sepia ink.
Vest and pants :
Base ; Vallejo silver white
lights ; base plus white
shadows ; base plus german grey
Grenadier fur cap :
Base ; burnt umber plus a dab of german camo black/brown.
Lights base plus flat yellow
Few washes of brown glaze
during the painting of lapels and facings i struggle a little bit with the Crimson.
I always try to look for the "right color" and i know that the hue of the color is in the eye of the beholder.
Pretty much " Crimson" to me i will describe in plain words as a deep red shade of red that when under the light you will see a " pinkish red tone" , very close to the Polish Lancers of the Napoleonic period.
This is the second of the four "squares" with the regiments, i have completed two more figures from the gatinais regiment ,i will add more figures on this diorama square for the Soissonois and Saintoge Regiment , they were almost right next to each other when they took positions at the Battle of Yorktown.
I hope you guys like.

. The red is dead on and the coatee colour is perfect. Each fig in your series is better than the one before.
