After recent weeks seeing me plough through various AWI/FIW minis in 15mm I need to get back to some 10mm.

Next up, two matching ECW armies for Baroque. I've had these for four, possibly five years languishing at the back of a cupboard. It's about time they saw a brush....

Once these are done I'm looking at an Ottoman Turk force to take on my Polish

Progress to date. Very much a speed paint job simply to get these on the table as they've been languishing unloved for far too long.

Very nice looking and well-armoured. Is it the King's Lifeguard?

That's a lot of troops quickly, and they look good too.

As you say once the basing is done they'll look the business.

Speed painted? Speaking as one of the slowest painters in the world, I'm very impressed with the results.

A small point however. May I suggest improving the look of the wheels on the gun carriages? The rims would be bands of metal as are the 'bumps' (clasps) on the rim and so should be painted appropriately (e.g., gun metal and/or matt black). Wooden rims would soon smash. Granted they were speed painted, but I see this omission so often on guns and it takes no time at all to run a brush round the rims.

Otherwise, bravo, Nosher! Wish I had your skill.  :)
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Took a look at the blog and I see what Westie means about the guns. However, I also note you are doing what Javier Gomez suggests for 10mm, black undercoat and blocking on top. It is indeed very effective.

Quite decent results. On your blog you refer to the painting as "rustic". Now I know what I do (and taking twice as long to do it )  :)
