Hi,
well these are finally done. Small group of 7 40mm Naps British light infantry from the Perrys range. A bit different than my normal WWII painting but enjoyable. I used the new GW inks a lot on these. Brought the colours on the red and green jackets out well. Borwns also handy for the faces and brown trousers.

Heres the pics

As I said I fairly new to naps so any comments on the uniforms welcome.

thanks

Gazza

Gazza,
The figures are exceptional and I wish I had your talent.
The only comment I would make is that the 87th. wasn't a light infanty regiment. The only light infantry regiment with green facings, (according to my info), was the 51st.
Sorry to be a pedant,
Dave.

Definitely playing with the big boys now Gary in every sense of the word... exceptional effort on very tricky figures... top , top work

Hi,
thanks for the comments. The GW inks were great help.

As for the 87th being light infantry I couldn't tell you for sure but the customer suppiled the figures, number and colour so its up to him.

Glad you liked them.

Hi,
had a word with the customer. They 87th were a line regiment but they did have a light company and these figres are from that company.

thanks
