Those participating in the Challenge may find it somewhat encouraging that Kent is returning to work next week. ;) Perhaps the blistering pace he's set will abate somewhat. Nonetheless, before you all wipe your brow in relief, Kent has sent in another impressive entry. This time we have a full battery of Napoleonic French horse artillery and a regiment of foote for the English Civil War.
The French horse artillery are 28mm Perry Miniature sculpts. Lovely work here. Kent, are you using GW Regal blue as a base colour? The uniforms on these lads really 'pop' nicely.
Next is the beginnings of a new army for Kent - English Civil War. This unit depicts Sir Ralph Weldon's Regiment of Foote. Note: Seventeen of this group of nineteen count as two were completed before the Challenge.
This last one I expect is for Sarah: a lusty barmaid 'proffering refreshments' to the troops.
Another enviable batch of points earned here: 100 for the French Artillery, 85 for the ECW unit and 5 for the barmaid. Total: 190 points! Once again great work, Kent!
I layer vallejo paints. dark prussian blue base, intense blue first highlight and flat blue to finish
ReplyDeleteGood to know, thanks! I'll have to give that combination a try for an upcoming unit. Some variations in an army is good as historically depots would be supplied from a variety of textile suppliers, all using slightly different levels of indigo.
ReplyDeleteGreat painting once again!!! Let's hope you being back to work doesn't halt that express train paintbrush of yours??????
ReplyDeleteAnd here I was thinking I was catching up! Stellar work Kent!
ReplyDeleteExcellent work again Kent. I do a simliar layering with Vallejo and Andrea paints too. Any chance of you volunteering for lots of overtime?
ReplyDeleteone can only hope but i have only done overtime about three times in twenty five years, oh well,
ReplyDeleteWow, I hope Kent does have a job that he has to be at 24 hours a day, although even with that I do not think I would have any chance of catching up.
ReplyDeleteNot withstanding that, great looking figures.
