Started the mammoth paint of my last Austrian infantry unit . It is going to be Infantry Regiment No. 28 Graf Wartensleben with grass green facings . Doing them in groups of six and once I get into the swing of things should be quite fast , the advantage of the figures being the same pose means that once you have got a few done you go into auto-mode knowing were the paint goes . I'm doing it with a black undercoat and trying to leave some of it showing to suggest shading . These are ready for a coat of gloss varnish tomorrow.
Your Austrians look terrific! I am a firm adherent of the black primer school of painting.
ReplyDeleteYes it speeds things up, think the trick is to leave just the right amount black showing, Tony
Deleteah, that is the trick!
DeleteSuperb! Nice job on the white color...
ReplyDeleteTook a couple of coats to get it right, Tony
DeleteWe'll done - I'm doing some Austrians myself at the moment and they can be tricky!
ReplyDeleteAll that white!!! , Tony
DeleteOne of my first metal armies was a 15mm Minifigs- Austrian Army...I do like the uniforms of the Austrians- the Line Infantry, Artillery and Generals...your Army will look very nice on completion. Are you going to do more troops for your Crimea Armies Tony? Regards. KEV.
ReplyDeleteYes going to do more Crimean figures, but having a bit of a break from them at the moment to get some other projects done. Tony
