Still waiting for flags and basing.

Very good start Matey.......Especially if you're still experimenting 'technique wise'.
Look forward to the next pics.
I agree with the comments re the Vallejo v. Tamiya paints....I quite like some of the Tamiya paints, but they don't seem to give a really good coverage with just one application.
Cheers - Phil.

I'm with Techno. The Tamiya paints are designed for use with plastics (so it says on the pot) and really don't cover as well as Vallejo. Not only that, but some I've bought recently (from Hobbycraft) actually had health warning labels stuck on them.

I didn't expect the War of the Spanish Succession!

Nobody expects the War of the Spanish Succession!

Our main weapon is the musket ... and the pike* .... our TWO main weapons are muskets, pikes ... and cannon ... our THREE main weapons are ...

* or not. See the end of the pike in British army for clarification

The Tamiya paints are quite difficult to work with - as they are solvent based they seem to dry very quickly, making them very hard to mix shades with. They do have some nice military colours though.

There were a lot more duchies in1700AD than in later wars.
Making imaginations more interesting.
Even more choices if you look at a 30 years war map.

Are you gaming with a group or solo?

Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this Bavarian Army what I brought not half an hour ago to this very place, Blenheim!

Ah, that one!    One careful owner, very respectable gent, only ever used it for church parades on Sunday?

This army is no more.

[Ithoriel]

It's only standing up, 'cause you nailed it's feet to the parade ground!

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

It's joined the choir invisibule, shuffled of this mortal coil.
