Latest shots from the painting front of Dumbarton's Regiment, (later became the Royal Scots.) I experimented on the command figures' staves by painting the buff, then washing with sepia ink, after reading something on this forum about better representation of wood. Not sure about the results. Maybe needs to be more yellow. These ones were based with a primer coat of black to see how they turned out.

Looking good, imo!

Look eminently respectable to me.

Latest photos. First two of the Earl of Dumbarton's Regiment, (later, The Royal Scots). Have started basing them, and need to finish off unit of grenadiers for them. Second, as I believe the real appeal of 10mm is the impact of massed figures in armies, is the Earl's Regiment and Kirk's Regiment side by side. Used nearly all the foot figures in the LOA allied armies, so having to start to buy more. Once Dumbarton's is finished I will do some horse. Does anyone have a link for uniform details of the Royal Regiment of Dragoons (commanded by John Churchill at Sedgemoor) in 1685? Drawing a blank so far! The painting goes on... much to Mrs Urban's irritation...

Like it! Good stuff.

Particularly like the snow terrain, with the many cattle tracks!

 

I prefer the 'snow' to the orange box

I wasn't thinking about cattle tracks...luckily it wasn't on a yellow table.


The mass effect really works, shame your pics are a tad dark.

Speaking as someone wityh terrible photo skills who uses an iPhone, try propping a couple of sheets of white paper behind and to the sides, then pointing the light down-ish. It helps quite a bit!

I got some useful piccies recently by using a duvet just after it came out the dryer, and propping it up like an impromptu light box

Figures look good btw - very meaty.

Sounds like good advice, toxicpixie, I will give it a try. Unfortunately, have to photograph on a Samsung mobile phone. Personally, I blame Brexit....🤔
