I applaud the Perrys to sculpt and to produce those miniatures showing the very very special field dress of the Saxon infantry and artillery of 1806. The grenadiers had a black was skin cover for their grenadier caps, and otherwhite above the white coat a so calle Kittel (kind of Frock) made of natural linen was worn over the white uniform coat and as well as buttone overals – also of natural linen was worn. the officers did wear either a blue greyish Interimsrock (coat with one row of buttons) or the Überrock (sort of redingote). I did not base the command miniatures there I am still deliberating how to arrange them, I will need a second coloour bearer as well, to show the white and regimental colours. As usual in those recent days I used Contrast colours with the exception for flesh and the white. One officer in white dress – it is pretty evident why this wasn't worn on campaign, he whould very much shout out to be targeted. url=https://postimg.cc/8sHbM15m]

What paint brand and color did you use for the coats and pants? |
| von Winterfeldt | 02 Mar 2022 11:41 p.m. PST |
priming was done in GW Grey Seer, for the coats than Ally's brown liquid and adding a bit dark blue to create the blue grey, for the trousers a wash of artist water colour charcoal grey but then highlighted with GW Corax white, to create a more cold grey impression to create some contrast |

to create the blue grey, is of course nonsense, it should read brown grey or warm grey. |
