Been very productive the last week or so getting most of the Crimean figures I'd got cleaned up painted . Here is the Russian Infantry Regiment Azov , the problem with Russian Infantry is that they all look the same .
They have painted up very quickly , I gave them a good coat of high gloss yacht varnish to seal the paint so it won't flake then a coat of matt varnish - which isn't truly matt (are they ever ?) but gives a pleasing satin finish .
Whilst I'm on a roll I've decided to do some Turkish Bashi- Bazouks to give the Turkish contingent a bit of cavalry , they are again Strelets and cleaned up fairly well , they are fixed to their horses using dress pins . Next up 42nd Highlanders .
Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThank the Lord for brown greatcoats !
DeleteExcellent work! Thank goodness the Russians had the foresight to at least color-code their shoulder boards and colors!
ReplyDeleteDullcote ain't what it used to be in my humble opinion. Years ago, I could count on a dead flat finish. Now, it is hit and miss.
I have been using Vallejo Matt which seems to vary from tube to tube
DeleteA fearsome looking bunch. I saw the Bashi Bazouk set. Would you recommend them?
ReplyDeleteYes in my opinion they are nice - a bit of flash maybe and will need pinning to their horses but very individualistic !
DeleteThey may have been fast but they look good. (Satin beats flat anyway imho)
ReplyDeleteYes it adds a depth to the figures
DeleteThanks for sharing this with all of us.
