I've had a sudden burst of painting and basecoating today. No photos yet, as I may get more done before the day is out. But photos are planned.
At present, among other things, my 6-man pioneer company has acquired leather breaches and purple coat. A sample RSM95 Prussian Musketeer has been given a purple coat to test its appearance, as well, for my idea of going with purple coats instead of gray. I wiped a little excess purple on one of the older white basecoated RSM95s as well, just on a sleeve to see what I thought of it. I'm seriously considering stripping the white-coated ones and redoing the basecoat in black. This is partly because I made the white too thick, and it obscures lines on some of the RSM95s in unpleasant ways for finding what to paint which color.
Also acquiring a purple coat is my Blue Moon figure that I've chosen to represent Furst Gunter Blauerwolf. And I also intend to include a picture of the Cavenderian diplomat whose arrival I mentioned earlier.

After hearing of your purple uniform, I redid my Kronenberg Cuirassiers to purple facings and saddle blankets. I really like the change. Thanks...Bill
Howdy Bill! 'Tis only fair, I suppose, your new uniforms having prompted my own changes. I took a peek, the uniform illustrations do look very nice with the purple facings and saddle blanket!
And, yes, we do want to see those photos even more now.
