Greens, Blacks, Dark Browns, and Flesh Complete. . .

 

A fairly easy week's worth of hobby time brings us to this stage.

Except for the two standard bearers at the rear, who need their flagpoles before joining the rest of their regiment.  Citadel Warboss Green (two coats) on the bases?  Check!  Black shoes, gaiters, cartridge pouches, and hats?  Check!  Dark brown haversacks, canteens, and musket stocks?  Check!  Flesh tone on the faces and hands?  Check!  A number of small touch-ups to clean things up here and there?  Check! 

"All present and correct, Sah!"

"Very good, Sergeant Major!  Carry on!" 

Still lots to do, but we're off to a solid start I'd say.  This slightly different painting procedure -- getting one batch to a particular point, then moving on to the second, and so forth -- seems to be working nicely when it comes to a reduction of painting tedium and fairly rapid progress.  

Probably the neck stocks and hair next before moving onto the green collars, cuffs, and waistcoats.  Straps and webbing after that, and then we'll see where things stand.  

Trying to address the smaller, more tedious details while enthusiasm remains high. you understand.  The easier, larger areas to come afterwards.  That's the plan at any rate.
