WIP The British are coming!!. 40mm 23Rd. Foot Royal welsh 1781

[MarquisMini]

Hi there MM,

This is looking great everywhere I look there are lovely details ...the flags are my real favourite .

Each figure has his own particular character all adding to the diorama

Just how big is this all going to be when finished ?

Thanks for sharing

Nap

Hi Nap, thanks for your comments.
the whole scene consist of 4 individual panels of 12x12 inches each panel.
every panel has a different thing going on but all of them are part of the whole scene.
this dio represents the early days of the siege, where the french trooos were marching to their final battle positions while the regiment of Touraine (white coats with pink facigs) charged the 23rd Foot positions on a diversionary attack to allow further earthworks construction for the siege and artillery .
I have 3 panels relatively finished, the 4th it will have the artillery and 2 regiments marching.
best regards

I partially finished the coat of these 2 officers. Still need to add the last lights.
painted the very dark blue facings and trying the gold lace which was the specified lace color for officers on the 23rd foot.
the troolers would have had white lace and white metal buttons.

Almost done on the officer and officer flagbearer.

I have been working on the drummer earlier today.
i had to paint the livery chevrons on the coat armssince it was not built on it, i can say i am pretty happy with the result.

This is looking top notch again Daniel.

It must be said how well you are doing at keeping up the same high standard of work across all these pieces.

Every one seems to be a real labour of love to me.

Well done mate.

This is going to be so much more than a museum quality scene.
Your groundwork is also perfectly in keeping. It truly shows the randomness of the real outdoors, so natural.

You may have guessed this already but.........Me like lots.

Paul.

Very good progress Daniel.
Your work on the drummer is superb, He looks as though He is being hunted down by some cheese eating monkey
All the best Mate

Cheese eating monkey hahaaha, you can come up with some funny stuff mate
I will place this chap a little ahead of the light infantry lad running from the mounted frog officer, i think the pose is a perfect fitting for the battle scene.
cheers my friend

Thank you Alan

It's nice seeing each new addition to the whole scene Daniel. Do you actually have a plan or are you just keeping going until it looks right?

Thanks for your comment Roger.
my vision of this encounter is to add more redcoats in the action, i have 8 or 9 Brits to ad dincluding the 23rd foot regimental flag.
the idea is to portray and overrrun position they gallantly held but fall back due to the approaching french infantry numbers, that would have allowed the Fogs to build more parallels and battery positions for the siege.
cheers
