Very slow progress

Subtle highlights on the green uniform and white breeches. Base coat of red down and white strapping painted in.

You can just about see the green highlights here.

Still a longish way to go. My paint brush looks like it is eventually giving up the ghost 😟. It wasn’t a Windsor and Newton super expensive one, but a cheap one that actually had a bit if a bend at the end. I found it really easy to use, but tonight sadly it started splitting down the middle as I ran it over the figures.

I reckon another couple of evenings and I will have these done.

On the upside, I found a regimental colours to fit the flag pole.

I may do another one, I have some with a full moon on, but they are the larger size version. The other option is to extend the length of the pole.

A teeny bit done:

I have managed to get the uniform green base colour on and the grey base for the fur.

I dithered a fair bit about the colours to do them. It was going to be a random mix of colours for the fur, but instead I decided on grey for them all. I will alter the base by adding different colour washes. Browns etc…whatever I can find.

If I wanted to add another unit I would choose a different fur colour to keep them separate.

later on…. an update:

I added the various washes and painted their breeches a very light grey.

The washes didn’t work how I wanted them to, but to be honest I will work from where I am.

I might repaint the caps as they are meant to be black…. however I do quite like the green.

I decided on this unit.

Nine werewolves and a vampire officer. Normally the werewolves have a different officer, but as I had this one from the command pack handy I decided to save £2 and utilise what I had.

Once again I will be back to Russian Green with red turn backs.

I got some airbrush paint this morning too.

This is to paint up the three Char B1’s for my mate. Kind of useful colours for other stuff too. I also got some airbrush thinners too.
