Great! Then I guess I can show you this

He's a French mousequetoire, obviously the weapon still needs to be changed, DeLancey did the skin, me the model.

Dear Sunjata,

This character looks more like a guard cuirassier of King Louis XV. French musketeers had royal-blue, baby-blue, blue-gray or cream(and/or straw) over-coats and pantalons with a cream or straw waistcoat, red or blue turnbacks, lapels, cuffs. Black tri-cornered hats, with a cream, white, or gold colored rim. Cream bread bag, cream shoulder bag, and a black ammo case with a fleur-de-lis in gold gilt on it. This is a bare bones description. Examples of these can be seen in 'Barry Lyndon' and 'Last of the Mohicans' amongst others.

I am still trying to use the imageshack.com stuff, but , I have been having more fun making Cuirassiers for the most of Europe. Prussians were the first focus but I have branched out and even made french soldiers. Like I said in the earlier posts, once the modeling and skinning got started it would go quick. Need to start on the weapons. Researching cannons, howitzers and mortars. Cavalry is a 'cinch' due to the fact they looked very much like infantry during this period. Probably will use spline tech for making muskets.

Cheers,

He's not a line musketeer but a descendant of the legendary 'three musketeers', the elite Mousquetaires du Roi w/c were part of the Maison du Roi. This particular chap actually hails from the Bourbon Restoration of 1814 but it can easily be converted (I think) to a tricorne wearing 1740's incarnation.

Oh!
Currently going over the French. Why do they have to make the image shack crap so diificult? I get turned off every time I try. Boring? Other suggestions? Guess I'll try again.

They have alot of different types of troops.............................!

So do the Prussians and other Germanic states

I'm trying to remember where I saw these prints of all these Prussian troops. If you look well and hard - try specific battles or uniforms or regiments - theres a LOT on the WASP.

I am willing to help.

I cant model or skin but i can do some minor scripting and willing to learn more (scripting) and do some research.

Great, Destroyer of Hope(DoH),

Take a look at what it takes to change factional faces to eighteenth century equivalents. I'll send you a PM. Those factions are mentioned above also confer with dclare4 and Sundjata Keita. WilKommen, mein freund.
