How the heading says, here's a tutorial about how I've painted my naps shown here (Click! (http://www.sdean-forum.co.uk/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=18)).
First of all I wanted to paint the 1st Chasseur Company (the light Infantry's fusiliers) with green Pompons, after the 2nd (blue ones), then the 3rd (orange Pompons) and then the 4rd company with purple/ lavendar pompons. After that the carabiners (Grenadiers) and then the Voltigeurs.
Step 1 - Clean the miniature
Clean moulding errors or slopes and dales with a scalpel.

Schritt 2 - Ground the miniatur
I always ground with black, but I think white would do the best by linie infantry nevertheless.

Step 3 - Ground the coat
Here I think a lot of different colors would look fine, so I simplye tried out 3 different ones.
Left: VGC Cold Grey + Black + VMC Medium Blue2:2:1
Middle: Black + VGC Cold Grey 1:1
Right: VMC Uniform English + VMC US Field Drab 1:1
(http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm146/Regulator0/8-1.jpg)
Step 4 - Second layer
Just leave the shades.
Left: VGC Cold Grey + VMC Medium Blue 2:1
Middle: Black+ VMG Cold Grey 1:2
Right: VMC US Field Drab

Step 5 - Highlights
Add lights.

Step 6.1 – Painting the trousers
L.: Bc: 049 Stonewall Grey Lay.: White
M: Bc:US Field DrabLay.: 034 Bonewhite
R: Nothing – I didn’t paint it! The mud and dirt will deliberate it
Schritt 6.2 – Painting white areas
Everything what should be white will be painted now.

1st layer 1: 049 Stonewall Grey
2nd layer: White

strange, the topic was locked? :` ???

Absolutely fantastic painting. I was drooling all over my computer when I saw them. Thanks a lot for sharing your wonderfully painted figures!! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
They look very good Stephan, thank you for posting them. :) The mud effect is particularly good.
One tiny criticism, if you don't mind, is that it's quite hard to see what you've done to the figures against such a colourful backdrop as the box art - plain white or light blue would be a lot better.

Thanks! Yes, I know - a lot of guys already told me on other forums - the next tutorial (how to do the bases) will be on a white background.
-
Nothing else to say? Tomorrow or so i will add another tut.
-
Nice job. I need all the help I can get before I start on my Nappies.
-
I have not done Nappies since I, age 10, ploughed my index finger through a rank of Airfix Black Watch, simulating grape shot. But this is a bloody nice tutorial (although I agree with Sir Jolly) so you've got yourself a sticky, mate!

They look particularly cracking Stephan
