Superb paint job and Brookes regiment has to be one of the nicest looking units in the ECW.
Cheers

Super good stuff,
Which colors did you use on the muskets and pikes?

Thanks for the kind comments - much appreciated.
Pikes are Vallejo Green ochre then highlighted with Vallejo Iraqui Sand.
Muskets are (after my oil wash undercoat method - see blog) lightly highlighted with Vallejo Brown Sand (or Vallejo Medium Flesh - very thinnly - for a more 'obvious' effect.) I find both work well.
Hope this helps.
