Spent about 90 minutes yesterday (Tuesday) evening carefully reapplying the base colors as a highlight to areas of the coats, leggings, capes, and bundles of plunder carried by a few of the figures on their backs. These Minden and RSM95 Croats were, you might recall, treated with various Army Painter color washes some time ago to add shading to the many folds on each casting. Taking my cue from Aly Morrison once again although I lack his homemade magic brown liquid, but the Army Painter washes and later reapplication of base colors achieve something similar without straying into garish Technicolor territory I hope.
I still need to dry-brush the rear of the officer's cape to soften the highlights a bit more, but otherwise just about done with this particular step. And invariably, I see a few places this morning that need further attention. But very close to the touch-up stage now, and then the glossing can finally happen. Pretty well pleased with the way things have shaped up I must admit. Wasn't really sure how things would progress with these 15 figures for a long time, but they might actually turn out pretty well when all is said and done.
