Might be too late for you, but check out our new French Regulars.  Some of the might be good for you, with only minor modifications.

That is really progressing nicely! Will they all have tricorns or will you include some cut-down round hats and jockey caps for variety?

Looking at it, I would take some more out of the lower cheek to give some definition in that area, but otherwise, looking good  :)

cheers

Bibblywibblywobbly is right about the cheeks, if you can hollow them out a little, make his cheekbones more pronounced you are almost there. He's looking great.

Looking good! I hate to make any criticisms, but in something looks a bit off in the facial profile. I think the nose may be a bit too flat. I think your eyes might be a bit too wide also, but that may be a trick of the lighting. The rest of it looks very well executed and crisp - right down to the shoe buckles!

I think your efforts are great, as I mentioned before, sculpting is a whole new game.

Give them bigger honkers and they'll look just like bought ones!

I hadn't noticed it before, but the Bess does look a lot better after your whittling.

Looking good! I know you intend to use them for the NY troops, but they really would work well for a range of units. I'm impressed with all of the fiddly detail you captured on the musket!  :o

Amazing effort - casting your own miniatures - WOW!

Damn the air bubble! Must be frustrating.  >:(

Still looking longingly at those tricorns.

I would have said this is nice work but you're way beyond that point… lol

Casting your very own figures and scratch building all those scenic elements sure take a great deal of commitment.  As for the air bubble, I think that tim in saskatoon cast his own figures too for a WWI project… Maybe you can ask him for advices?
