Been in a painting frenzy completing some more figures for 'A's 1897 project , here we see British Rifles , I've always found it hard to get 'Rifle' green right , it's a very dark green (almost black) but it can look a bit odd I think when done on 28mm figures so I do lighten it a bit - although it looks very dark in this photo - trick of the light (or my photography) ..
Did some more Volunteers plus a mounted officer for them .
For the Germans a unit of Jaegers , again they have come out in this photo a lot darker than they are in actuality .
A rare bird - a mounted Naval Officer for the German Naval Brigade and some more sailors . Have been gluing up and undercoating the next batch of figures which includes cavalry and artillery . When these are done there should be enough for a small game .
Your not wasting any time are you...
ReplyDeleteLooking good...and shiny.
Have you seen...
Vanished Armies by A E Haswell Miller and John Mollo...
Although it covers a later period 1907-1914 the art work is very inspiring .
It was my go to book when I was making my Little Britons.
All the best Aly
