WIP: 30YW Foot, the Red-Green Regiment

Sorry about the lighting of that photo - it seems to have come out darker than it appeared on the camera.

"Hang on a second - didn't she say this was the "RED-Green" regiment?"
"You're right - she must have meant the Yellow-Green regiment"
"Maybe she's simply lost it?"
"Is there such a thing as red-yellow colour blindness?"
"Probably the stress of losing all those games of FoG!"
"Does anyone want to tell her?"


No, I haven't lost the plot and you are seeing yellow not red. That is because I'm using Yellow Ochre as a basecoat to paint the red over.

Done today:

• Basecoats - Black 950 for armour, muskets barrels and rests; Yellow Ochre 913 for jackets and officers' trousers
• Faces and hands - Flesh Base 341 (Panzer Aces) 
• Hair - German Camo Pale Brown 825; Colonel = German Camo Medium Brown 826
• Dry-brushed Oily Steel 865 on armour, musket barrels and rests
• Pike& halberd shafts, flagpoles and musket stocks - Mahogany Brown 846
• Company flags, officer sashes, drum sides - Flat Green 968
• Stockings - Pastel Green 885
• Shoes and Boots - Black Grey 862
• Breeches - German Camo Pale Brown 825, German Camo Medium Brown 826
• Ground colour on bases - Flat Earth 983

Tomorrow I should be able to get the rest done:

• Jackets (and officers' breeches) 
• Cuffs, ribbons and any other bits that need to be in Flat Green
• Collars and piping
• Hats and feathers
• Leather bits
• Apostles and match cords
• Metalwork

WIP: Second Batch Sarmatian "Other Cavalry"

As i wrote last night, I did manage to do the Klear/ink coat and to glu the figures onto their bases before heading off to bed. This morning I added the basing gunk and I've just dry-brushed it with Revell Afrika Brown. Hopefully the weather will be a bit better tomorrow and I'll be able to do the matt varnish spray and then the flocking/clumping.

Piccy:

So, what's on the cards for tomorrow?

Finish the Sarmatians if the weather is good
Finish off the Red-Green 30YW foot
Make a start on the 30YW cuirassiers
