Paul’s AWI project

[paulr]

Weather has improved, so...
- Last batch (80 Infantry, 9 Officers) varnished
- good progress on current batch of 24 artillery crew and 48 infantry
- 6 guns undercoated
- two towns and two villages undercoated

Not bad before lunch 

Sun still not cooperating enough for photos, hopefully this afternoon or tomorrow

Thinking about my army entry, have layed it out and surprised how much space it takes up

Two towns and two villages under coated.
Did they mind?
Painting the town red tonight Paul?

They're still black - lots of photography and post processing yesterday and today.

I have now entered the Mounted and Army categories as well as the Foot - Pre 20th Century

I have already posted the British Legion cavalry which I entered in the Mounted category - as requested by Leon 

Here is my American Army entry - only the Continentals haven't already been posted.

It was a difficult choice but I decided to enter only the Americans. Here are the British ...

Only the 33^rd Foot hasn't been posted before

Two things:
1) Those are brilliant.
2) I give up!

Don't give up I'm sure my AWI would struggle against those Raptors of yours, even without the Dark Elf riders

Thanks Kev, that means a lot coming from a past winner 

Still on track for their debut on 15 March, 233^rd anniversary of Guilford Courthouse.

Taking a break from painting figures to paint a couple of towns and villages to give them something to fight over. Thanks to Rex (who I suspect lives about 50km away from me) and Leon for a very useful tutorial

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Seriously, they are brilliant. Plus you would shoot the raptors before they could close!

[Hertsblue]

Terrific, Paul. I would like to see them in a battle situation too. 

[Matt J]

Yep, absolutely cracking stuff Paul

Hi Guys,

I need your feedback, I'm painting up some buildings for my AWI forces to fight over. I have mainly followed Rex's "how to" but I wanted to include some individual variation in the roof tiles. I'm not sure if this works or just looks silly. Have a look at the pictures below and let me know your thoughts. At the moment I'm thinking of dry brushing the lightest tiles with a dark grey or black.

Thanks

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Very nice! 

[paulr]

Very nice! 

So I don't need to do anything to the individual light tiles?
