All lovely  Fred!

Faces and gloves done - which helps bring a bit more colour to the figures. Dark blue wash added to the first strip, and the start of the second strip.

What design and colour combo for the flag?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Blue and white that matches your uniform but a red double headed eagle/dragon?

Something like the blue checkered flag in this blog post?

I did worry that some one would suggest checks.

I think I like the idea of the red eagle / dragon, I will see what decals I have, before attempting free hand.

Afraid of checks?

Yep, not keen on checks. But I do quite like cheques. And I don't think I've ever met a Czech...

Anyway.

Final bits of tidying up on these chaps - (unless the photos show missed bits)



Flag to finish off, obviously. Not sure if I want to give them a brown wash or not?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Id say no to the wash.

[Womble67]

Just lovely

Take care

I'm with Will.

They're really 'punchy' just as they are.
Cheers - Phil

Thanks chaps. No wash it is then - keep them nice and bright.

Have to have a better rummage for the decals tonight as I couldn't find the heraldic ones last night, just lots of aircraft roundals.

[toxicpixie]

Yeah, no wash - they look vibrant and punchy and nice as is!

Good job, on nice figures - I keep wanting to order some of them, but the price is a bit steep. *Really* tempted by the arquebusiers though. Can never have too many arquebusiers...

Some of the sexiest and most intelligent women in Europe.

I'm going to go with the opposite! Thin black wash (like Nuln Oil from GW), and then go over the colors with a highlight!
