Foundry SYW British Grenadiers - WIP +2
They have been given a stain/wash of Minwax Tudor Satin stain. Excess pooling, mainly around the waist of the figures, was removed with a brush dipped in thinner.
This is what they looked like with a block paint job prior to the stain.
After they are thoroughly dry - probably in a day or so - they'll be given a finish of Testors Dullcote. I probably won't highlight them as they turned out pretty good with just the stain. Likely just work on flocking the bases. Their French adversaries should be easier to paint - they don't have the elaborate lacing like these British.

They've turned out well Dean. Painting lace & straps led me to abandon 18th century wargaming several years ago, but I am constantly tempted nevertheless.

ReplyDeleteVery nice work, yet another period I must resist getting into.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Paul! If you like these figures - there's a little shop in nearby Nottingham that carries them :)! Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteImpressive!! Are you going to paint any Indians?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment, Andres. Yes, I think I will add a small unit of Natives - probably a set from Galloping Major - I like their range of FIW figures. Best wishes, Dean
