Hesse-Kassel Regiments for my Blenheim 1704 Project

OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

Ray,
What technique do you use to get that textured look on you bases? I'm trying to convert to a more textured base as opposed to a flocking and brush base.

Thank you.

Well Ray,
these are great looking figures you got there! The colours have a superp contrast. And a very fine brushwork!

I would also be interested to hear how this kind of texture has been done?
