Le Cimier Louis XIII couple (1 Viewer)

[blaster]

I painted this pair many years ago according to the painting instructions. I'm thinking that perhaps a fresh coat of paint would do for these figures.

After checking the internet and not being able to find these specific costumes, I've decided to strip off the paint and redo these figures in other colours. Anyway, I find that matching costumes for couples are so ridiculous. So here are the stripped and reprimed figures ready for a new coat of paint.

Hi Mirof,

thanks for reminding me about Racinet. I have a few costume books including Racinet's.
I am now finalising the colour scheme for both these figures and will continue to paint them soon.

Hi Poppo,

I think that the previous faces were fine too. However, I wanted to do a complete repaint of the costumes and the best way was to strip off the underlying paint and start all over.

The previous painting seems to come from this illustration
