First two regiments almost done....

I used elf flesh for the flesh, painted the base graveyard brown (GW) then used the GW black wash over the figures - I think the wash needs diluting further, as I lost a lot of variety of browns (for tunics in particular) I used on the figures.

I painted the sash dead white (vallejo), and used electric blue (vallejo) on drums.

Essentially they are done, but for basing, and whilst they are not brilliant, I have essentially used these to learn some important lessons about 6mm, the main one being dull colours don't work as a main colour for your regiment.

Going to do the rebel Canadian/Loyalists units next, and they will have a standard uniform, so that should speed up the whole process.

Once the basing has been done for the 1st and 2nd Connecticut Militia, I will post pictures of them. I reckon I have spent around ten hours on them, so five hours per regiment.
