First Unit

Post by pappenheimuk » Sat Aug 20, 2005 9:06 pm

Well that's the first unit for my Irish Jacobite force almost completely painted.
Irish guards with red coats & blue cuffs.
A couple of questions, how should the grenadiers caps be painted the models look like cloth with a small bag attached and what colour would the stockings be, white or red?
Also I have painted the officer figure a more crimson shade of coat, I read that the officers coats were bought by themselves so in theory could be any colour, I have given the pikemen white sashes with blue tassels.
Whit dye think?

All sounds good!
Socks - White or Red? both would look good but I might go for red.
Grenadier caps - Bag in red. Front cloth face - probably blue(edged in white or yellow -whatever your button colour is). Small device on the face. I would suggest a safe bet would be either JR Cypher or a crown.

good luck

I've painted the buttons silver so white trim. I've painted white tape round the foots hats.
