The surfaces are pretty fat, not leaving much for the wash to pool in to give the shading effect. I use it all the time now on my non Minifigs figures, though.Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-49400326909229470932013-09-27T09:00:17.345-04:002013-09-27T09:00:17.345-04:00Nice painting.

Those white trousers are (to me) just screaming out for a light coating of miracle wash.

I call my units "regiments":, but if they were battalions, the Auxiluary Corps of 1813 had, by December (from "Part 1") ROUGHLY:<br /><br />3 light Bns<br />13 Line Bns<br />2 sqns Hussars<br />4 Sqns Heavy cavalry<br />8 Sgns Light Dragoons<br />4 Batteries<br /><br />So pretty close!<br /><br />I figured you knew which was which, but I try to be very cautious to give credit where it is due, especially for material that is/may be under copyright... as I know you do yourself. <br /><br />Believe it or not, it looks like there will be 10 or 11 posts in this series (the 11th I think is just going to be regurgitated but very useful information from the defunct website, for which no copyright was claimed that I can see), to reduce the chances of it slipping into oblivion. <br /><br />Peter<br />Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-13406260020074458692013-09-16T22:30:05.710-04:002013-09-16T22:30:05.710-04:00(I hit 'Publish' before proof-reading.

Is it more than/most of what was ever fielded 'in anger' at any one time?<br /><br />I was referring to the first two line drawings. I reckon they are pretty good, as one who has *no* artistic talent (haha!). The cuffs looked to be from a publication; plus you noted them as such. [I do actually read what you write... weeeeell, at least most of it, most of the time (ha ha!)]<br /><br />I am not meaning to try to jump ahead of the coming posts, each of which I (and your other readers) shall enjoy in turn. Keep 'em coming!

It is such an interesting bit of detail I felt it worth including. As far as i know, you cannot buy these roughly 40 year old plates anywhere now days (I have searched for them on line without any results - glad I bought them way back when when they were new and rather inexpensive). Still, I am trying to limit my use of this material on the blog out of respect to the Artist/Copyright holder(s).Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-47396463307088033502013-09-16T20:15:20.994-04:002013-09-16T20:15:20.994-04:00Is that ten regiments so far Peter?

Simple and clear.
