Urbancohort has started this painting thread and is keeping it wholly clear of apostrophes although it is all about his painting skills developing.

Excellent looking units - must be from Nottingham.

Why Nottingham Mr Leman???

Cameronian commented "10mm is about numbers, its about vast hordes filling the horizon east to west, the figures aren't meant to look like works of art close up, concentrate on decent painting (tick), good basing (tick) and make a REAL effort to produce nice terrain, its not hard or expensive, its the ensemble effect that makes people catch their breath."

I would add 'good flags'; really decent flags will make a lot of difference as these will be the things that catch peoples' eyes.  Good quality flags, either commercially produced or carefully hand painted will really enhance a unit.  My preference is for 2 or 3 a unit and very slightly over scale as well, but don't over do it.  I used to paint mine by hand but 15mm Napoleonic Bavarians cured me of that and I now prefer to make my own using MS Paint (not the best graphics, but free).

Wow! Funny you should say that! Just completing Dumbarton's Regiment and experimented with doing my own flags. Results shown below. Oversize but rather proud of the Colonel's colour. Bases done with flock powder this time. Will spray varnish the lot over the weekend. Two regiments of the Royal army completed now, resupply of figs came this evening so will finish Earl of Oxford's Regiment the do either Trelawney's or Foot guards.

Nottingham was a major centre of lace making.

First, I like the name change on the thread - nice. 

The Blues also look very good, particularly like that you are using different shades for the horses.
One thing to note, Scott's book mentions that their saddle cloths were dark blue. I do assume, like you, that they were edged in gold.
