Hi Kev, to be honest with you, i paint whatever i feel like painting at that particular momet or depends the time i have to paint, sometimes work and obviously family does not make me have time to go on for hours, so i paint snall parts .
Cheers my friend

Violet and white is a very unusual combination,cold and aristocratic at the same time.This will be a feast for the eyes when finished.

Oda.

You could not have saying it more accurate than that, white and violet or purple it's very Aristocratic, regal , and it is a nice combination
Best regards

I am changing some of the heads, that way it will be some variation amongst the infantrymen.
I had 3 hatless heads from front rank, i cut it the top part of their heads , and added 3 hats from trident which i clipped the original heads and adapted to these 3 .
These 3 cream white coats are almost done...

Hi Daniel

Nice changes on the heads ...even more variation to the troops

Line the way the cream coat is looking

Different whites on the trousers I presume !

Thanks for sharing

Yes my Friend, the idea is to have a warm white on the coat, a semi warm on the vest and pants and cold white on the gaiters .
I hope it will show on the pics later on.

Have you tried the uniform dip paints Daniel ?
they do make complicated jobs easier.
This is one of my favourites it's really helpful.

Oh I didn't check Daniel, joking aside, I just assumed it was Stewart.
I'll find out in the morning.
