ACW army update one week in

after four attempts at the pants i have finally got it right the last bat was far to bright the picture below show my final attempt.

Well it,s been one week since i started painting my ACW army the first part above has had all the skin done and the base coats of the pants and jackets  i have also done a bit on the cav command and a few other things the rest i undercoated today as you can see there is still a long way to go

Great Northern Wars Russian cav plus all done

 the pictures are of the last 12 Russian cav that i did in the last couple of days, it's about time i started pulling finger and started getting some work done again. Below i finish the last highlights today on the Swedish cav

 I also finished the Russian guns they have a layer of black red then devlan mud the black red again then saddle brown highligh to finish.  so we have 60 cav 3 guns and crew to add to the infantry that i had already complete, army done. So now i'm back to syw British and ACW union 

Great northern wars WIP

 Well it's slowly moving along on the painting desk this week I've added a couple of shots of the Russian artillery crew finished and the Swedish cav WIP shots, I did the base coat today on all the horses and the third coat on the buff plus the gold well some of the gold still all the fine gold bits to do yet. I really want to get these guys finished so i can start on my ACW project which i've based and undercoated about 150 infantry plus the command figures, managed to pick up another box of cav so only two boxes of cav and four of infantry to glue up.

 For some reason you can't see the layers of colour in these artillery lads there are three on both the red and blue oh well they look great on my desk the guns are only on the first coat lots still to do

 I think these lads are going to look great on the battle field lots of colour
