Hi all,
I finished some Perry Miniatures again. ;) They suppose to depict a Regimental Line Infantry Command during the Battle of Waterloo 1815. I decided to paint the Greatcoats in a variety of colours to give them more individuality. The majority of paints I used were from Foundry.
Please follow the below links to more pictures.
Eagle Bearer: link
I used Foundry's French Blue for his Coat & Uniform. The shako cover was painted using Coat d'Arms Black Triad with Foundry's "Charcoal Black" as final highlight. The Flag is from GMB.

I painted his Greatcoat with "Rawhide". I used GW Dark Flesh, Blood Red and Blazing Orange for the red parts, i.e. Epaulettes, Plume and Fannion.
Eagle Guard 2: link
His Coat was painted using "Rich Butternut" but added deeper shadow with a mix of GW Rhinox Hide and Black.
Officer: link
I used Reaper's Neutral Grey Triad for the Officer's Greatcoat. The painted the shako with "Buff Leather" but again used additional shading with Brown / Black mix. I also highlighted it additionally with "Canvas C".
Drummer: link
The coat was painted with "Drab Butternut" but I also used additional shading to intensify the rather flat transition of the three colours in that particular triad. His shako was painted with Reaper's "Bone Colour" Triad but added Vallejo "Burnt Umber" for deepening the Shadow.

I painted his Greatcoat with the French Blue Triad from Foundry. I decided to paint his Apron with Reaper's "Bone Colour" but added a little of Vallejo "Burnt Umber & Green Ochre" to keep the mix a little more on the warm brownish side. I also wanted to make sure there was a clear distinction between the "Arctic Grey" Trousers and the "Canvas" Belts I used.
I hope you like them. Please let me know what you think.
Regards
Sascha
