Cheers Adam.

Will do a similar shorter piece on basing soon.

I decided to do a post about how I approach painting both figures and horses. I used some Saxons I was working on and hopefully its interesting to one or two on here.

Mark the Poles can happily fight alongside the Russians, although you might need a lot of them to fight off the Swedes.

Pancerni to add to the Polish for the Great Northern War project. Details posted on the blog.

I got mine from Ebay and they are Uniball Signo. What I should have done though is choose the fine tip as mine are a bit big.

Ah yes, I do intend more but may stop at two Brigades. Two Each of Pancerni and Winged Hussars three light Valaks/Cossacks/ Tatars and one of Daragoons eventually. Not sure I can stretch to 10,000 though....

Polish Winged Hussars back from the basing department. These are some of the nicest figures I ahve painted in a very long time and really pleased with them. Write up and more pictures on the blog. http://gapagnw.blogspot.co.uk/ http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss181/rogercas/GNW/100_6138_zpstrwyra...

New Polish guard and Russian dragoons on the blog.

Most kind Mark. Poles and second battalion of Saxon Guard back from basing department tonight. Have some pictures forthcoming.

Hi, not yet, to be honest I moved away from inks a few years ago apart from the brown mentioned, I often use it now to disguise where I have not got hair quite right on a figure when dry brushing or in particular for the cow hide knapsacks some armies carry. Windsor and Newton colours damped down wi...

It is in deed sir. Thank you.

I always used to use artists inks with a peat brown ink shade in to deaden the colours, recently been using the army painter soft tone for shading faces, hair leather etc and it is very good indeed.

Just received my Saxon heavy horse and finished paining a couple of units to send off to the basing department. Photos etc on the blog. Already got the primer out! http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss181/rogercas/GNW/100_6088_zpsxdelzii2.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss181/rogercas/GNW/100...
