28mm Front rank skin done


On the weekend i started these fellas  I did a test figure to make sure that Reg was hasppy with the way i painted them as this is his first order then i painted all the skin
Tonight after doing some more Spanish i finished off by doing the first of the line infantry( as i did him i put all the paints aside that i used to makesur the rest come out the same i will also make a list for further reference.
I decided to dry brush the flesh to tone it down just a bit and i'm more happy with this finish.
this skin is a little darker than i normally do but i think i like the look from a distance.




still haven't done the pom pom yet will talk with reg first it can be the last thing i do to finish them off

Now it is back to the Spanish I must complete this army before caring on, this is how i always do it or you lose interest in the job and things never get finished.

25mm Dixon wide west figure

Well this is the first of 6 figures i picked up a couple of weeks back and have decided that i'll be getting some more as they are a lot of fun to paint
. I've been working hard on getting the flesh on 28mm figures better and it all comes down to how thick you have the paint once watered down a bit it flows on so much nicer and flatter.

Spanish 15mm Barbastro light infantry


I've been down with the flu for the week but last night i managed to get back to a bit of painting and finished off the light infantyr and base coat all the horses for the limbers and wagons. Question does anyone out there know the colour for horse brisles and gear for the spanish artillery.



I base 28, 7 wars Autrians tonight for then next commission job oh yeh lots of white uniform again
