GB Nassau Infantry Peter´s thread

[Peter]

Nassau 1

Well I think somebody has to start with, so here I am.

I will not start with the figures but with their flag. I want to do it in another way as the Teutonic GB.

So first the flag. I was Lucky to have one of Rofur, so I didn’t had to search for it.

Pole and flag



Pole painted



Foil added



Glued the flag on the pole



Gave some shape on the flag



Well I hope you all like this start.

Next steps will follow soon.

Nice flag, and good idea. Which figure will you use as a flag bearer?

That's something I don't have decided yet. It will not be a Grenadier. I think it will be one of the reloading guys or the one standing guard. We'll see.

[Bourbaki]

Hey nice flag Peter.

Tomorrow I post the line officier, the trumpeter and the flag bearer(almost done), I used the realoding guy next to the trumpeter, I think he has the best pose to look as a flag bearer.

Thanks Dani

There's no reloading figure next to the trumpeter

Looking forward to your first pictures. Don't forget the making of

Now I've seen it on the sprue When I was reading your post I was looking on PSR.

I will take the figure on the left. That's an NCO, and I think it's not so difficult to cut away the gun.

Looking forward to your pictures

That's light infantry. Did they carry flags?

Nassau 2

Just a test guys, so don’t be to hard on me





Comments, critics and so on are very welcome. Everything that can help

A step by step will follow.

PS: the uniform color is sea green from Revell (48).

[musketier]

ah so that's the sea green eh? looks pretty good color

[MABO]

Hey Peter,

for a test is good. I would think the leather must hava a color that looks more like yellow. The green of the uniform is good in my point of view. And I think HäT leave us alone with a lot of flash

[Maurice]

Did you paint the straps of the backpack and across the chest white or yellow? Hard to see.

[Peter]

Thanks guys

The belts are painted with GW Kommando Khaki. I took this color after a good view on the box art. Maybe I can take pictures of this figure outside one of the following days.

And yes Jan, a lot of flash

[Benno]

The green is great! It was hard to get the right tone of green when I painted mine (ended up using those awful Tamiya paints...).

[Erik-Jan]

i used a mixture of humbrol matt 30 & matt 80 for my nassauers.

[Peter]

Hurray I'm back on track with these figures

As promised (a bit late I know ) but here they are Jan





















I hope you like them

Up to the "Light Companies" and "Grenadiers" figures

[Paul]

Very nice...I love the look of the drummer!!!

[MABO]

Hello Peter,

very good looking Nassauer. I am also working on the last batch. The Light Comp and the marching figs.
Hope to see more you did a good job.

[musketier]

They turned out pretty well Peter,
