Pulled a marathon painting session today and managed to finish the main parts of the uniform; facings (cuffs, collars, etc.), equipment straps and shako cords (less the officers' silver cords and sashes).
Still need to paint the buttons on the jacket, including cuff flaps. The command groups also need work - particularly the musicians. After the uniforms, muskets will be painted, as well as most metal parts - including the Pavlov's mitre faceplate.
Just wanted to update the progress on these figures. Again, very, very basic painting which will be given the Minwax stain treatment. Thanks again for stopping by and wishing you all the best.
Dean - you are a machine. Half the gamers on the planet would be happy with figures that looked like this as the finished product - its taken you about a week to paint 75% of 240 figures - amazing!

ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Jonathan! I think painting the buttons on the cuff flaps will slow things down a bit. Best regards, Dean
