You must be getting fed up with doing white!  :)

Not fed up with looking at it, though. Really striking, crisp and clean.

Cheers Plynkes, I break it up a bit by painting four or five of these and then some WW2 stuff then back to four or more of these and so on...
The next IM unit is irregular cavalry in mostly red and blue, woohoo lol

Excellent Jeff! One of my favourite  units in the whole Indian Mutiny and beautifully painted by you!
BTW did you know that Iron Duke is bringing out 8 new variant figures for the Madras Fusiliers.

Thanks Willie I'm glad you like them, I was aware of the new packs yes, apparently one pack will supplement the current figures and the second pack will be in Khaki for later in the war

Jeff, your work is like good red wine, becoming more quality when getting older. Excellent work. Love them.

You want to keep those lads away from red wine. You'll have the Devil's own time getting red wine stains out of those particular uniforms.

Superb painting :-* :-* Love the whites but you must be pretty tired of painting them. Is it discouraging in the initial stages of painting these as I imagine that they really don't look "right/nice" until your multiple layers in?

I get that feeling whatever I'm painting, I love it when I put the final colours on and the figure comes alive. Also don't underestimate the power of good varnish 👍
This particular colour scheme I can knock out quite quickly, so long as I only paint a small amount at a time there is no problem :)
