some single figures

[GaiusIulius]

The exams are getting closer, but I took the time to photograph my customs of the last months to share it in here. I hope ull like them.

1) a carthage infantery man



2) a knight


3) a Frensh soldier



4) an other Frensh soldier 

[cheng]

very good, Gai !
i find your last 2 customs very inspiring....French revolution? (i have not noticed any customs of this period)
and good luck for your exams 

[Argand]

Good, good, but for precision use permanent marker like edding 3000 (great surface) or edding 850 (fine precision point)

[Leblanc d. II.]

Great gaius! You can use the "breastplates" (i don`t know the english word) of the old "harbour guard set" as a template for the uniform of your french soldiers. You will get fantastic results

[GaiusIulius]

@cheng: thank u, I think I will own my professors 
@Argand: Ill keep that advice in mind, my argument against eddings was up to now that they are too shiny.
@Leblanc: I know what u mean. unfortunallly I dont have those, but Ill look for them.

[Grant]

They all look very nice. I really like the hat on the French soldier it looks to me. I could really use a few of those. 

[Argand]

Yes Gaiustulius, but warm cleaning reduces it

do you have a picture to explain which type of french uniform you meant? (using those 30031010 white lapels from those 'old' circus musicians like this?)

[GaiusIulius]

I guess this was what he ment cheng.
@Argand : what do u mean by "warm cleaning" 

[Argand]

First cleaning the clicky with warm water, scourer and fine polishing for vehicles, next paint with marker.

Other solution, paint it directly with marker but polish tint in fresh with chamois for reduce shine, it is plus dificult to make until maintain the tint fresh

you can use this variant for many soldier types. Presupposed you can
live with the fact to paint your figures

First you needs the two blanks

[Leblanc d. II.]

Then you joins the two parts. Now you can paint the edges of the plate  tight on the torso, with a white coloured pencil.

[Leblanc d. II.]

Now you paint the inside simple with white color. My favourite is the colour of games workshop. Provide with buttons on the sides, if you want, ... completely

[Leblanc d. II.]

I add now still equipment in addition, and a new member of
the line infantry is ready for combat.

[GaiusIulius]

First one needs the two blanks

the problem is that I dont have them  . If I find a figure that could b painted with eddings Ill try that technique though. I always used brushes and color cuz I did it always that way, but for details eddings wil be better I think.
