TomF - American Revolutionary War British - Those Darn Redcoats!

A little late in getting this out to keep pace with the one submission per week ...

Here are eight AWI British infantry (28mm) for Sharpe Practice.
This is the last batch of figures from the Warlord Games 28mm plastic figure set.  So I have a decent sized force to put on the table.  I have some native Americans and colonials sitting in boxes that might see some paint in the next month or so.

Painting Redcoats is always a slog with all that red and white (two of the most dreaded colors to paint).  Layering successively brighter shades seems to work for me in this case.  The Warlord plastics have lots of folds in the coat and pants which makes it easier.  I did a couple of rounds of drybrushing on the pants which turned out pretty decent.

Here are some more views of the miniatures ...

One of the enjoyable side benefits of sitting at the painting table is that sometimes my 5 year old daughter joins me in a little painting therapy.  Here is her latest masterpiece that she completed as I was putting the finishing touches on these Redcoats.

Thanks for viewing.
