The new project, the Crimean War using predominantly Great War Miniatures from North Star, is now officially underway with the completion of the three bases making up the Scots Fusilier Guards. It's been steady progress while I worked out the best approach to painting the figures, especially as one or two signs of mold damage were evident on a few figures. I'm satisfied with the outcome despite these issues, so I hope you will approve too ~
The bases of course are from Warbases, my go-to MDF supplier while the flags are from North Star. At £4 a sheet of four flags it would be hard to justify paying more, though I think the GMB Designs flags are actually nicer. These will do for me though, unless I win the Lottery that is...
The base size, for those who like to know such things, will be 80*50*3mm for the British with figures in two ranks, while for the Roosians it will be 80*60*3mm with figures in three ranks. Next up with a following wind should be the Coldstream Guards. More as and when as they say...
A most splendid project launch there Mr. B, every mm looking the soldiers of the Queen.

DeleteHard not to approve of such fine work David! I like the officer with his bearskin raised, which just adds a nice touch to the unit:).

I'm rather pleased with the outcome I must admit. I'm currently working on the Coldstream Guards and the Royal Scots while I'm in the zone.
