Very niece use of yellow

[Hertsblue]

Superb, as always. Did the 15th really have two grenadier companies, Matt?

Lovely painting, though I confess when I first saw thm I first thought was "Nice UN troops" ....sorry

I must admit to a similar first thought 

...
Apologies to everyone for the repetition on this projects lots of very similar battalions in very similar uniforms (until I get to the highlanders  )

You can repeat figures looking that good as you like

Superb, as always. Did the 15th really have two grenadier companies, Matt?

For the Plains of Abraham each regiment deployed the grenadiers on the flanks, suggesting the companies were split.

What I've done is put one stand of grenadiers in the smaller battalions on one flank, two on the larger, one on each flank. I don't want to max out on grenadiers but I may game this conflict at some point (when, who knows) so I need grenadier only stands for Beauport shore.

Superb Matt.

[Steve J]

Wow, simply superb work (as always)

Matt, is it just me, or are you one of those annoying people who is still so young that your painting just gets better and better?  I have just been looking back at your earlier posts - the standard was amazing from the start, but your latest work is just out of this world.   I don't know whether to be inspired or discouraged.

I picked up my first Pendraken about 4 years ago and I hadn't painted anything really since I was a teenager so its taken a couple of years to really find my feet again (also a better camera helps  ). I'm happy with the results now so some of my earlier stuff will get a revisit. What I'd like to do is keep the standard but get quicker.

and don't be discouraged painting models is really quite easy the more time you spend the better the results. At the end of the day it's just painting by numbers.

Rules you'll be using ?

[Matt J]

Rules you'll be using ?

Haven't a clue, though it'll be years at least (or maybe never) before these models are used.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

My favourite set.

[Hertsblue]

Yeah, but in my case they run to eight digits.

Matt, you need a 72 canons, now.

[Ace of Spades]

Excellent work again Matt; hats off!

Cheers,

If you're talking ships then it'll be the Heller Le Glorieux model converted to the Centurion. It's a bit down the line but definitely on the to do list.

Did someone say "Centurion"?
