The French Infantry Regiment Clare (Red coats Yellow facings).
The Danish Infantry Regiment Livgarden til Fods (Yellow coats Red facings).
I had thought that painting both units at the same time would speed things up a bit as the colours are pretty much the same ... just arranged differently.
As it turned out it took a little bit longer...

I am very pleased with my Danish Guards... I think that there will be more than one Yellow coated

I am not sure which unit to do next... I quite fancy some cavalry...
All the best Aly
Great stuff Aly, brings back fond memories of my old Minifigs "custard" men.
ReplyDeleteI thought of those too Phil. Good work Aly.
DeleteNow those are lovely looking units Aly.
ReplyDeleteSuperb, looking forward to seeing the cavalry emerge. I haven't even contemplated Danish.....yet!
ReplyDeleteSoon have enough to start refighting Ramillies with the way you're going. Lovely work as ever.
ReplyDeleteIf you are referring to a refight of that punch up in a small garden around the back of the Ramillies pub.... then yes I am getting close.
DeleteIf you are referring to the Duke of Marlborough’s famous victory ... unless someone gives me all their beautifully painted toy soldiers I may take a bit longer... ;-)
All the best. Aly
I was particularly interested to see your Livgarden til Fods Aly as I painted the same unit 18 months ago but using the ex Wargames Factory plastic figures... I had my enlisted men in more of a pale yellow/buff coat but the officers are in scarlet like yours. A great job you have done on these wonderful Front Rank figures!
ReplyDeleteExcellent results! I have the yellow coated Danish Footguard, but in 6mm (for the Nine Year's War). A must have unit--very smart and they stand out at any scale.
ReplyDeleteAly's Brown Liquid you say... I'm sure I saw you drinking that other night!
ReplyDeleteYes... it does many things , but sadly it doesn’t improve your dice throwing...
