This weeks output has been these two fine Regiments of Foot ready to make the long march to the field of Culloden as they did in 1745. Both are Buff faced units as are the two that I will be painting this coming week but Marcus requested off white (I use Vallejo Cream White) for the belts with a special dispensation for the 3rd East Kent Regt who are of course 'The Buffs' and was my Grandfathers regiment during the First War. I used pure Vallejo Buff for the Buffs!
Have to say I'm enjoying the lighter workload now and genuinely enjoy painting these units of 60 figures for Marcus planned demonstration/display game in July. 13mm Warlord Epic AWI's are the sprues being used so uniform is not perfect for the earlier period but in this scale it's pretty good I think?. I paint just 3 strips in a day session so 4 days out of 7 to compete the 120 figures plus basing, Marcus will add the flags.
