Hampden's Greencoats (ECW project)

Wow! wouldn't the mustand colour have faded into the light sand once it was used and a bit battle worn anyway, maybe you could mix them a bit, either way, just WOW dude!!

Looks great. I agree with grant about the yellow though.

Or! Or - they would get dirtier as time goes on - and more yellowy-brown! Yes?

Ha!
I think I've got the colour I was looking for: Vallejo Yellow Sand!
Looks spot on, pictures tomorrow

awsome painting!

After spending several hours in the think-tank I came to the conclusion to stick with Haithornthwaite and let my Greecoats have White facings.
This reduces the colour palette I'll be using to Black, Buff, Browns, White, Grey, and Green. Not to forget the odd Tawny sash, of course.



Musketeers (and Pikemen with suitable headgear) will display some scrap of paper as field sign:



Captain is WIP and will be finished tonight or tomorrow.
Next challenge will be to find out what the colours would have looked like and to convert the ensign.
After this the rank and file will go into production...

Cheers

Yes, Yes I like where you're going with that........

@ - S.P. very cool, especially the little touches, the paper in the hat band, very nice.
