Treated myself to a lovely break from the endless red tunics and white lace. Here are some work-in-progess shots of Fullerton's Company as they advance towards the Imperial Guard, flanking the 71st Foot (who I have assembled also in advancing pose). With a nominal strength of exactly 100 officers and men they suffered 18% casualties. Still plenty to be done (tidying up that awful splodge cuff for one!) but these were an absolute joy to paint.
Figures are mostly Perry, with a few Essex and Foundry, some Victrix legs, heads and arms, and the odd Hinchliffe and Front Rank officer.

As you can see, the light was so bad today that the indoor pics were coming out too dark, so I took a handful outside to get a better look. |

Looking good mate
