Conscripts of the Guard 1st Bn. Finished

Here they are, finished!

Not entirely satisfied with the highlighting on the action figures as I left it til after basing them together, which was a mistake. I found it too difficult to get the brush in between the middle and firing figures, so their breeches are a little too streaky. I'll try again and take a little more care this time, but I'm satisfied with the rest of them, especially the NCO.

  1. Dito about the NCO, but there's always 1 that's really outstanding in the batch.

    1. Yes, I use a wood-stain varnish, but I was a bit heavy handed in the application and they turned out darker than I intended. I've since highlighted the cross-belts and dry-brushed another coat of white on their breeches.

  9. Thanks all!

    They look a lot darker in the photo than in the flesh (so to speak!) and I've since added another highlight layer. I'll post some more pictures soon.
