We are very, very, very close to finishing R2E. I've actually had a few days with nothing to do waiting for my world traveling partner to get back home so he can send me the last few photos...
I took the opportunity to assemble another battalion for my Peninsular Allied army. Mixing parts from a Victrix Peninsular infantry box and the new Highland infantry box, I'm going to add the 74th Highlanders to my growing 3rd Division, circa 1810. The unit seems to have been a little understrength at the time so it will only be 24 models strong for now.
I assembled the battalion yesterday and painted these today...
I've reverted to my black undercoat and dispensed with the Quickshade. My experiments with the stuff turned out pretty good, but they just don't look like my models! I paint fairly quickly and anyway what's the rush? These models lack the weather and grime that I prefer these days, but I tend to apply those effects to the entire unit just before basing.
Stay tuned...
