OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

Pics of my latest painting job for chum Joel's Dutch army
The regiment is Dalrymple's, although it seems to be known by many other names during our period. Flags by Maverick and cap details taken from an excellent article on Dutch Infantry 1688-1702 by Mark Allen published in wargames illustrated 170.
I've no idea what the letters "FIRM" refer to ( is it perhaps an early reference to the "old firm"?!)

Lovely, I suppose "Firm" meant steady or solid, much like the Worcester's motto.
