Duchy of Warsaw figures - painting advice please
Posted: Mon Nov 12, 2012 6:07 am
I have some new 28mm figures on the workbench - these are RTB's Duchy of Warsaw figures that were sculpted by Paul Hicks
They are really lovely to paint but I'm not at all certain that I've got the details correct so I've attached a few photos of 4 test figures that I've completed
I've been using this as a source : - http://empire.histofig.com/1810-1813-period.html
The precise uniform details seem open to interpretation, so I've hedged a bit
On reflection I probably should have painted the Grenadier with blue cuffs but I like my grenadiers to look like grenadiers so red it was
I'm also not certain about the back of the coat
can't see any turnbacks in the middle of the figure (ie above his butt) sculpted so its dark blue
Does anyone have any advice to offer please?
front
Back
Grenadier
Voltigeur
yes I know, I've only just spotted the white bit on the voltigeur's thumb
