ECW regiment of foot and another Reb unit for Graham.

This weeks output, more lovely Peter Pig figures for Graham. I don't know what it is about these Pigs but I find them such a pleasure to paint. First was a Confederate regiment of infantry 36 figures in total and as I mentioned previously I wanted to try to capture a few more of the 'cream' tones of faded butternut for this one, so effectively they are brown, faded grey and cream tones. The important thing is to try not to get too much contrast so that they all work together and hopefully I have achieved that and there is a bit of contrast with the previous two regiments. 






Then another regiment of foot towards Grahams Edgehill project, 28 figures, blue coated Royalists. I like these musketeers firing with rests and you can see the match hanging from between the fingers, a nice touch in this scale.




Today I'll be prepping up 10 Ral Partha winged hussars for John and some more 18mm AB Napoleonics for my own little C&C project of individually based figures with gloss varnish.

    Hard to beat the piggies for pose and detail. Nice job mate, as usual.

      Agree re the Piggies, a style all of their own and always very accurate in detail. One example is the ACW cartridge boxes, the Rebs tended to stamp theirs while the Yanks had a nice brass plate and that's what you see on the Pigs!

      Cheers Iain. The polish hussar horses are beautiful sculpts, some of the best I have seen in 25mm.
