I have started painting the line infantry. I was not that happy with the results for the light infantry so have used a lot more contrast paints when painting these an I am much happier with the final product. No blobby pink faces for starters. 😂

| In 3 ranks. The faces look a lot better, as do the trousers. The jackets are painted with normal paints. I am going to change the colour of the pompoms on the shakos to a different colour for each base as apparently each company had a different colour. One base will remain red as this was used by the grenadiers as will the command base. |

Figures 10mm from Pendraken as is the flag.

You’re making good progress! The curled blanket is actually the greatcoat. Plumes on regimental command was typically white.
ReplyDeleteNicely done and I think your observation about the problem of pink blob faces is spot on. In places, such as when skin is too pinky, I have started using slightly thinned contrast paint as a wash.
