Rather pleased with how this is looking, some further work to be done obviously, with metallic colours, washes and highlights to go. And then a light dusting via the airbrush with a mud spatter, and I reckon they will look the business.

Boots, hat, scabbards, canteen - Vallejo German Grey 70.995

'5 o'clock' shadow mix of Basalt Grey and Flesh
And now some highlights:
I can see some stuff needing a cleanup, and the airbrushing on this one was too heavy and caused paint bubbling. But it works for me.
White Highlight - Vallejo Ivory 70.918
Blue Highlight - Tamiya Field Blue XF50
Flesh Highlight - Vallejo Basic Skintone 70.812
Musket Highlight - Vallejo Beige Brown 70.875
Gunmetal - Vallejo Gunmetal 70.863

Nice brush work - nice faded red
ReplyDeleteThanks Tidders, only another few hundred to go then :-) And after the redcoats for 1745/6 there's the ones for 1779, then the ones for 1808-10. I should be ok with doing red coats by that stage.
