15mm Anglo-Hanoverian 7YW

[Roy]

Ha! Bloody Sod's Law that I go and do a google search for "British Drummer Minden" and what's one of the first images I find?

This...



Least my guess work doesn't appear to be too far out

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Brilliant for 15mm!

Lovely painting!  Any reason why you have reversed the Roman numerals on one side of the flag?

Splendid work, Roy.

Thanks all.

Er. I hadn't thought about that one. My brain just went with the 'looking at it in a mirror' theory, but you're probably correct.

Cheers for pointing it out, as I'll sort something out now.

Looking very nice Roy, bet you can't wait to get them in table!

Ahhh, the perils of a scale big enough to make out the numbers

I once spent ages painting a lovely paper flag for my 10mm ACW, only to glue it on upside down. I didn't even notice until their first game. It is still upside down to this day!

[Roy]

I coat my flags in pva glue, to stiffen the paper and allow it to fold as if windblown. The glue made the bloody red paint run into the whites and I had to repaint them (hence why the white looks thick on the Union Flag).

...bet you can't wait to get them in table!

Couldn't care less, truthfully. Soon as I start playing, people soon realise that I'm crap at commanding armies! 

[toxicpixie]

Ooo, ouch on the colour runs :S

Heh, I suggest a game where you just get to practise manouvre ing up and down the parade ground, Roy

15mm 7YW British Unit Paint Up [#7]
Finished.

I failed to photo the officer, I know. Nor did I photo the stages of the basing. But I'm sure, for those interested, if you look at these images, or those previously posted, you can work out the methods I used.

Figures used: Freikorp15 British Seven Years' War (sold through Total System Scenic)
Unit representing: British 12th Foot.





Thanks to those of you who pointed out my mistakes, while I was working on these, and to those chap's who passed on information to me when I was stuck. Also to everyone who left comments or 'Liked' my WIP posts. Much appreciated.

Cheers,
Roy

[Techno]

Damn fine job, Roy. 

Cheers - Phil

[toxicpixie]

Excellent stuff! I look forward to "in action" shots of them square bashing so as not to risk a defeat

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Very nice unit.

[DFlynSqrl]

Lovely!

[Roy]

Thanks everyone.

I took a break from 15mm and painted up a Pendraken-cast figure yesterday. But no photos or details, yet, as its a gift for a chap who is a (very quiet) member of this forum.
