More AWI

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!

More AWI

So got out the rest of my perry plastic, I got enough for another unit of brits(orderd a separate command spur)

It means I basicly get two units of 16 figures with 1 box and an extra command spure.

I'm happy with theise.

A few new things on this version, I dropped my 3rd austrian white(c) and used real white instead.

So my whites are now Horse tone gray-Austrian white A-Austrian white b. and then white.

Also added a 4th red on the coats, between the mid and lightest. it's very subtile but I think it makes them look better.

But the two biggest changes is new colors for the muskets stocks, with lighter browns. I have not abandoned the foundry musket stock triad, just wanted to change things up, and as stock color varied from period, and were they wre made, I feel it's not incorrect.
And finnaly I painted eyes.
