I thought he was looking "too neat" in the trouser area so I gave him a Vallejo Brown (Umber Shade) Wash. Following the painting tutorial I gave "Bob" a "Royal Blue" set of facings (Vallejo Game Colour Imperial Blue, highlighted with Vallejo Game Colour Magic Blue) and trimmed with a bit of nice white lace (Vallejo Game Colour Dead White).
The cartridge box, water bottle, shoes, bayonet sheath and hat got a basic Vallejo Black. To this Vallejo Game Colour Stonewall Grey was mixed in and lightened with with for highlights. The bedroll on "Bob's" back started as base colour of Stonewall Grey and was lightened again with white. I put a little white lace trim on his hat to make him look the part.
Redcoat Tutorial
Currently 13:41 through the 17:13 video
That leaves the gun, buttons and small other shiny bits to contend with .. to be continued .. one more session I think. My only negative thought is that he looks to Xmas decoration Nut Cracker Suite and may need a matte varnish?

Very nice job!
Merci
From someone who is more user to the C20 and ancients these "colourful uniforms" are quite a nice change
You make me jealous of your abilities
Excellent brushwork on this fine sculpt. That said, AWI is a period I've managed to stay out of - too many other projects :)!
Thanks DeanM
I enjoyed this one, though it took more time than I expected
The WSS painting tutorial was the key to its success
Just checked out your site and you are very handy with a brush as well!
