Hello Gents,
Continuing with this project are 40 British Late War AB Miniature figures in leather jerkin.
I decided that I wanted a rather darker looking uniform so the base coat is Vallejo 871 Leather Brown. highlight is 921 English Uniform 2/3, Leather Brown 1/3.
Unfortunately AB has not produced heavy weapons in winter kit yet so I have them in battle dress only.

Base coat:






Highlight:


I wanted quite a reddish brown leather jerkin so I used as a base coat Liquitex Burnt Umber then highlighted with Vallejo 828 wood grain.

Finally decided the boards I was going to use would not work, so I bought a mat from Deep Cut Studio. I set up the game and took some photos to see how it looked.

Suitably chilly.

So that is just a mat with scenery on top?

That all works rather well together. Great looking table - actually looks cold.

Absolutely amazing stuff. The figures are fantastic and I’m loving your scratch built stuff!
The mat and terrain are superb! Let us know how the game went!
