Been busy finishing off a number of units which have been held up somewhat by real life (Spring cleaning etc.) and the first up is Guise's Regt. of Foote (6th) . They only had 2 companies at Prestonpans , the rest being scattered across the Highland forts , but I decided to do them at full strength .
The figures are of course by 'Red Box' and are rather nice - they were troublesome to paint however - lots of straps and I struggle painting yellow properly .
I also did another Government commander - Colonel Peregrine Lascelles who commanded the infantry at Prestonpans , he is a converted Great Northern War Russian Dragoon officer.
They look splendid Tony.
ReplyDeleteThey were rather fiddly to paint , I've started another battalion as well .
DeleteFine Redcoats and commander.
ReplyDeleteThe officer was a very simple conversion .
DeleteLovely looking toys...
ReplyDeleteWhat’s not to like about British red coats...
All the best. Aly
They were thinking ahead to people painting figures .
DeleteNice work... redcoats always look splendid when finished. GW yellow paints cover well over black (Zamesi Desert I think).
ReplyDeleteWill have to try the GW yellow , the Valleio is s***e !
