the contrasting coats of the officers stags out in this color scheme rather boldly
as always I could not resist modifying the figures
All that remains is a helmeted fusilier battalion and then it is off to the cavalry!

Lace Wars continues; Danish Garden til Fods
I have gotten back to the workbench and have been laboring away at the next to last foot unit, the Danish Garden til Fods ( Foot Guards in plain English). They are happily clad in a straw colored coat with carmine facings, a delightful change form the grey/red/blue cycle that seemed to dominate coat colors of the period. I have the larger blocking done and some of the detail as well, next is washes and highlights.......another week at least.

They look very nice!
ReplyDeleteI just finished painting them myself. I wish I'd seen yours first because, one didn't realise the officers wore reverse colours and two, I didn't realise that was carmine. (I googled and it sounded just like red.) I have other regiments to paint with carmine so you've saved them! :)
Great looking unit!
