The Regiment Shall Advance 300 Yards

Here you can talk about whatever floats your boat. Your favorite movie, sports team, etc. If it's a little racey, I suggest you post in R&R, otherwise we'll move it for you.

The Regiment Shall Advance 300 Yards

Post by Tobe123 »

I completed these some time ago and just got around to taking some photos.

The figures are 28mm scale, hard plastic mouldings, manufactured by Perry Miniatures.

Thanks for the positive feed-back guys. This is the first time I have shown my figures to anybody but family.
(I get a good review from them, but you would, that’s the law).

I have started a Union Firing Line but with other commitments (Family, Playing SOW, Work) I haven’t got very far.

When I have some of them finished to a suitable level I will post some “work in progress” pictures.

Thanks again.

Approximately 150hrs over a six month period. From assembling the figures to final basing.

I agree with Little Powell, about it being an outstanding paint job !!

Did you go through many brushes ?

I haven’t kept a note of how many I have replaced over that period.

I use very good quality artist brushes. Winsor & Newton, Series 7.

They keep their tip well if they are kept clean and last for a really long time.
