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!

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

Superb painting they look amazing

You never disappoint olddorg! Great looking unit and I love that shade of purple.

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.
