42nd Black Watch

Completed the 42nd highlanders, these took just over a week to do and there was a lot of detail to these AB figures. In fact for the same amount of time I completed six battalions of french great coated infantry! This is a 24 man battalion  with the centre companies on two 8-man stands and the flank companies on two 4-man stands. Not to scale I know but....anyway flags are by GMB.

Viewing them on the blog has shown up some mistakes such as the officers bonnet where I've been a bit messy with the brush, guess I'll have to touch these up!  WIP includes some french infantry commands, prussian hussars and four more battalions of Brits.

WIP - 42nd highlanders

Well, stuck the flags on the 2nd battalion of Portugese infantry and started off a battalion of AB Highland infantry. So far I think I'll be able to paint them - there is a great deal of detail such as the kilts and bands around bonnets and socks to do so these may take a while!

Regiment Orange-Nassau

The next unit completed is the Orange-Nassau regiment. These are old glory Dutch Infantry advancing poses with the same problems with muskets getting in the way of the faces and cross-belts. Another problem with these figures is that the bayonets are quite brittle and I've lost a few. Otherwise few problems painting them and I'm happy enough, the only mistakes I know I've made is that the Orange-Nassau didn't have gaiters and I'm missing the shako cords. I didn't fancy using CGM figures although they actually do this regiment they do appear a bit more expensive than OG. The officer is by CGM and flags by GMB.
