Finished up the new additions. Beside giving the flesh a wash of Vallejo Skin Wash and highlighting the face, only the blue facings were given a little highlights. This was mainly because of how dark the blue looked, and also the earlier figures with green, buff, and yellow facings weren't highlighted.
There are now four 12-man units of grenadiers representing the 1st (Royal Scots), 22nd, 40th, and 45th Foot. All were at the Siege of Louisbourg under the command of General Wolfe. The 22nd, 40th, and 45th, "Louisbourg Grenadiers" were at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham (Battle of Quebec), also under General Wolfe.
And a couple more images with the units in column, more or less.
Just to prove the backs were also painted.
Next up are two 12-man units of "Hat Men" in tricornes, also by Foundry. Thanks again for the visits and kind comments. Best wishes to you all.
They have come out beautifully Dean , bright and colourful 👍
