First English Civil War

[Glorfindel]

Hi chaps,

The first Regiment is finished !   In the end, I opted to raise a Royalist army, starting with the Earl of Northampton's Regiment.
It was only after I had finished the musketeers that i saw some pics of this Regiment with reddish trousers.   Mutter, mutter.
Anyway a few pics for your amusement :





Some other pics here :

The houses were scratchbuilt from card (with thinner card added to make the beams).   Looks OK but does
take a while (you really have to be in the mood !).   At this scale, the card has a wonderful rough texture
which looks decent up close.   You can see this here with some Warmaster figures :



Anyway, hope you are all having a great Christmas !

Cheers,


Phil

Just ignore them all, Phil, and carry on exactly as you were. We can none of us resist a little pedantry from time to time.

Indeed.  Pedantry in jest, mischief, and good humour.

Superbly done Phil - both figures & buildings

Be good if the trousers were the right colour 

Excellent stuff.

>>Be good if the trousers were the right colour

Yes, I know.  (mutter mutter)    I'd already finished the musketeers when I saw a pic of the
Regiment with reddish trousers.  Clearly, I am representing the Regiment in their less fashion
conscious 'wilderness years' (or on the way to Ye Olde Primark for trouser fittings...       )

Cheers,

Good thing about ECW is you can nearly paint them however you want with a 99% chance that you are right

Don't worry about it - they probably stole them off the last enemy unit they scragged.

Found this today looks interesting

That site is amazing.
Can we have it in the resources section too?

Hi chaps,

I have just finished my second Regiment (Lord Ralph Hopton's).   Just hope these have no fashion faux pas issues !!   

Great figures to paint - I find that adding a second highlight really makes the colours pop.
I copied the flags from the 'Wargames Designs' website which has some cracking stuff :
