Evening all, firstly a huge thanks to everyone showing interest in my little men, right I have started on the mext Two KGL defenders, the chunkier of the Two is the Victrix figure who will be a 5th line regiment and the other one is Perry 2nd Light Rifles. As you can see they are slightly different in shape with the Victrix being more chunky, anyway as I am dissplaying a few of the 5th without back packs - they require some work starting by shaping the backs to try to show some strap details, secondly there are cross support straps on the chest (these would be fixed to support the back packs straps) so these needed to be scrapped away (carefully) also over the shoulders near the arms again these straps needed scrapping away. Also some of these Victrix figures show cords hanging down (The 5th does not have these) so I had to carefully scrape these away and at the same time re shape some lower button panels, also I slimed the legs down a bit. On the Perry one again the back pack support starps were scrapped away (as the 2nd do not wear there packs in action) I have left the arms off to aid acess to the front of both. OC.

Yep, a reinactor from the 2nd Regiment who was at Waterloo 2015 told me about that little stat. OC.

Evening all, can I introduce my first KGL 2nd Regiment of Light infantry, even with added "Tosh" as that regiment was the only one within the KGL allowed to grow a Moustache. OC.

That is some Excellent collection there, all the best with your recovery. OC.

Thank you kindly Mark, I thought appropriate due to the conditions. OC.

Like this one, its for my range of figures but it gives an idea.

Certainly do bro, some amazing stuff from some really talented people. OC.
-
Same route as I took to learn from guys with loads of experience and 20/20 vision, some amazing work can be done. OC.

I use a citadel one its dark earth brown, as long as what you use free flows and you can use a fine brush - not going too heavy, I find a little goes a long way, I am still a novice at it and leaning as I go along. OC.

You should drop some shading over his eyes / edges of his nose / over - around his mouth, then use a fine brush a we bit lighter to pick out his cheeks. Sorry figures are going to my head. OC.

Thank you kindly Denis, I have to keep reminding myself not to be so hard a "Worst critic" as the scale is still quite small - one of thier belts is not much wider than a very fine brush, and those buttons on the KGL 2nd - well lets just say I went cock eyed trying to paint them🤕. OC.

Very tidy work mate - I had the same problem with stubern planks on my Greyhound kit - seemed to need a lot of water and heat. OC.

Evening all, I have finished the next three 55th Ligne minus fitting the back packs - think they are not bad, and also my first KGL 2nd Light Regimant, still needs a few things painting. Also a shot showing the scale of them on a standard cloths peg. OC.

Really nice work Denis - those wires look so realistic. OC.

I worked on another one of my little plans last night - it represents the ground plan for my dio - the farm as I will be able to display it with a false wall at the back, orchard with a few trees to the left and the veg garden to the right, with the gravel road along the front. OC.

Evening all, happy bunny today - my Vallejo Surface primer arrived, so I could start work on more figures in my stash, I have been collecting British Light Infantry in Two Up sprues, they only have Two poses but I can mix in some different arms for different positions. I will also use them for the KGL 2nd Light unit as they used basically the same uniform as the 95th Rifles, only difference Grey trousers for the KGL and Green for the 95th. I have come up with a "cunning plan" I will leave the arms off till I have painted the torso, as this will make painting the uniform details/buttons etc easier, the arms can be put on and touched up then without fear of a messy paint job like I have done on these a few times (shhhh - I hide it - dont tell anyone). So again no pics as I am waiting to put more paint down first, (oh I have paited the KGL 5th Light plumes dark Green - so they are now historically correct) OC.

Thank you kindly Edward. OC.

Indeed mate, I am waiting on some Vallejo primer to arrive so I can prime some more figures I have in the stash. OC.

Evening all despite all the hassle with the clear coat - I got a bit more done on the Three stuggies, just a bit of detail work. OC.
