Tanks, Erwin!
I definitely saw that too. When the oils are wet it can be difficult to catch everything, so I will be giving them a slight white feathering, for sure. Good eye, Batman, good eye!

The pernicious situation has been remedied, as our British friends would say, HA!

Iām clean out of superlatives for this project Ski, I canāt recall ever seeing better figures. Probably too late to fly this kite, but given the hand-to-hand combat would you consider a few rips & tears in their uniforms from enemy blades & shrapnel, even the odd musket ball entry/exit wound? Mud stains on knees & shoes? Yeah I know Iām a pita 
Lol, thanks, Tim.
All the blood splatters, slices and weathering will be done when all the figures are completed. Itās a heck of a lot easier to work em at once, keeping the blood tones within reasonable range and weathering to the base.
Not long now

G, 
Thanks, G-man! There is light at the end of the tunnel, lol.
All I can say, is that it has been a privilege to watch this one come together. The skills shown here are literally, top of the line, coming from an artist who is at the height of his profession. Even though thereās still a fair way to go, you can already see how itās going to turn out. I think this will even top your Arnhem dio and that is a very high bar indeed! Thanks for including us in this one, Ski!

Rifleman
Saving the easiest one for last,ā¦.well almost last, this rifleman was very straight forward in painting. Using all the techniques as mentioned before this paint went smoothly. One change was to use a ālinerā brush for the tartan black stripes, as someone had mentioned I do. I hesitated to use it, but decided; heck, thereās enough room to screw this up and clean it, why not. With a little more practice I think Iāll have this brush type dialed in, but there was certainly a learning curve that came with that brush. Iām now a convert! Stretch the envelope, right?
I hear the drums a-beating, ratta tat tat, ratta tat tat,ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ Yes, Drummer Boy is next up to bat. Heās got a lot of fluff to him as well.
Now comes the sneak-peak. This really looks pretty shabby, IMHO, but when itās all painted and shaded correctly, I donāt think much will be noticed. I certainly canāt get that āhigh speed, low dragā intense brush work on this drum as others have done, but I know my limitations, and this is one of them. Who knows, when itās all said and done, I may scrub it and repaint it. It wonāt be the first time Iāve done a scrubbing, lol.
Thanks for watching, all comments welcome, of course. Cheers, Ski.

Again, hats off for the drum Ski ā¦ at that scale you cant fault it with the sweet detailing painting you have achieved. The Rifleman looks spot on as well, so many vivid colours - you would of needed sunglasses in those battles ā more beautiful work throughout

Thanks, Johnny!
Ya, it does look pretty pathetic up close, lol. But, Iāll fiddle with it a bit more before I decide if it gets a bath or not. Iām anal retentive when it comes to stuff like that, you know me Erwin.
Thanks, Gents!

Drum Works
Fortunately, I didnāt see the need to redo this drum emblem pattern. Itās not perfect, but it will work out just fine. Now back to the Drummer boy!
All comments welcome. Cheers, Ski.
