I haven't been doing much painting recently but life is starting to slow down again, so today I finally turned my attention back to the next company of Fraser's (78th) Highlanders, the grenadier company.

I can't fit a 40mm Siege of Louisburg game, or even the Plains of Abraham, on my little table but they'll get their share of tabletop fighting in my alternate universe Acadian war. Won't be right away though, the coats on the first batch of highlanders dried darker than I intended and seems to have darkened even more since, so I'm going to have to get the grenadiers right, then go back and fix the coats on the first highlanders.
I'll need six more Highlander after than but they don't need to be a full battalion to get in some action. When the time comes, it'll be a matter of deciding whether to paint or play on some quiet day.
Always good to have some Highlanders. If only someone would come up with some good plaid paint! ha ha
ReplyDeleteBritain's was smart, their 54mm Highland sets had 1 shade on the kilt, plus one sparse set of crisscross stripes.
DeleteBraw laddies, looking forward to seeing them in action…

If I keep up the pace I've been doing, the last 8 Highlanders might take several weeks, but maybe I'll get in gear and finish in one week.
