Looking Great brother - those surfaces with that detail looks superb. OC. -
Evening all, so trousers painted in a few different colours. OC.

Yep all Vallejo Acrylics. OC.

Thought I would explain my paint system with my French figures that suites me - After priming I paint the faces and hands first, then comes the straps, I then paint the Off White Habi Vests and turn backs, then because of me mixing up a shade of Off White - I paint their trousers, I then mix some different shades of Off White, Buff or even Brown for their trousers, I then paint their jackets in the Dark Blue, this is followed by thier facings then Brass buttons, Shako details, Back Pack, Sword and details, I then paint their socks and shoe details. After leaving to dry I follow up with a Dark Earth wash for the face and hands, and a Dark Wash all over the torso/legs (removing in areas I want clean), I then add some Dark Earth wash around the ankles and finish off with a dry brush Dust around the ankles. OC.

Evening all, I decided after checking more research on the battle - I am going to paint a few of my KGL into Hanovarian Luneburg regiement, as they where sent down on the rear face of the farm and ran into about 900 Cuirassiers, and only a handfull survived. OC.
