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

They look great. And you have managed to get a lot more light on the figures so the photos show them better too

Terrific work !!

Cheers - Phil. (Dammit.....I keep forgetting to KO the apostrophe  in the title !  )

[urbancohort]

What Fred said

[urbancohort]

The Earl of Oxford's Blue Regiment of horse, based but needing the bases worked in. Have a soft spot for cavalry, even though they are hard work, and love these Pendraken armoured cavalry figures.

Next will be the unarmoured cavalry unit followed by Mounted Dragoons.

Urban, et al.
I just posted over on TMP is info about a FREE google book that I found:
History of the British Standing Army A.D. 1660 – 1700 by Clifford Walton (1894)

It's 120 years out if date but may be useful to what we (and others are doing). It bridges two of the time periods in the period specific categories on this forum so thought I would but it here (plus you are due for a promotion I think :-) )

[urbancohort]

D_guy, thanks I will take a look. Out of date or out of print? I have some useful reference books dating back to the 1880s!

The most recent photos of the army to date. Kirke's Regiment; Dumbarton's Regiment and a squadron of Oxford's Regiment of Horse. The painting continues but unusually for me I quite like what I have done here. As always though, I continue to seek to improve un painting or basing.

Looking good, it's a fair sized force too.

Yes, I actually worked out it is pretty much on a scale of 1:4!!

Hurrah, drinks on you

Wasn't intentional Toxic.. inexperience and lack of familiarity just led to it! However, I do like the massed effect. Can't wait to start on the foot guards!

Was this Monmouth's secret weapon that he never used?

Where does a 225 ton Moggy lie down? Anywhere it wants!
I would name him "Bishop Trelawny" but that's just me.

[urbancohort]

And shall Trelawney die?
Then two outraged teenaged daughters
Would know the reason why!
Daughter #1 made the comment "The cat's destroyed Dad's Army..." not sure if Capt Mainwaring knows?

Is there any information about the colour of gun carriages in the late C17th, please?
