Done!

| The first company has answered the call. |
I decided to go with a standard colour coat but various coloured trousers and sleeves. I haven't decided yet how I want to finish the bases on my 1790's units so I've just painted them brown for now. I also need to come up with a design for the flag, so for now, they fight under an invisible banner!

| There is actually a bit of shading on these but I was in a hurry and the light wasn't great. |
Hopefully, I'll get a prototype troop of mounted Mamlukes done on the weekend and with a few volunteer stand-ins, can play a small game.
Your sculpts look very good with a lick of paint.
ReplyDeleteThey look best at a distance :)
DeleteLook painted up very nicely.
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteGreat to get color on such veteran casts.
ReplyDeleteThey were cast for the early 16thC but found themselves in the late 18thC when they were finally painted!
DeleteThey have turned out very well haven't they .
ReplyDeleteNow I'm trying to remember how broken the mould is! Must go search.
DeleteQuick and dirty - my current standard... Look OK to me!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I could have done more shading etc (once upon a time) but this works for me now.
DeleteThey look splendid, Ross. Lovely backdrop as well. “Under an Invisible Flag” sounds like one of those 19th century novels that I read as a kid in its Classic Comics format.
ReplyDeleteAhhh the fierce and magnificent Cigarette! (and good old Classics illustrated! I hate to admit how many of my adult wargame collections had their start there!)
DeleteThey're a wonderful looking group! The standard coat definitely ties them together. Not sure about this new-fangled shading business. What's next? Non-metallic metals? Painting irises? ;)
ReplyDeleteNon-metallic metals are too artsy for me. Irises I used to attempt on 54's for display in the 70's but these days I don't do eyes at all, just a dash of shading.,
