British Regiments c.1704

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!

A crisp frost meant I could crack some varnishing outside and finish off two more stands. The left flank of North and Grey's and the Centre companies of the 1st Foot Guards (colours to follow):

I've gone for yellow lace on the drummers, but maybe gold would be more appropriate in this case :?

Sure did, I had some around as it's the size I normally use for a couple of 28mm cavalry, and I like the extra space at the front.

So you still have water over your head. you need some danes to help you out.

My first thought would be Flagdude because of the flying tassels and crunched look of the flags but I may be wrong :wink:
