Hello everyone. Started a small Royalist patrol for skirmish gaming. Still fiddling the colour palette. As always comments and thought much appriecated

Lovely, you've got a nice handle on the highlighting. I just started work on some Perry ECW as well so this is inspiring.

very nicely painted, but they look very clean. Musketeers are often covered in crap (or at least gunpowder residue).

Beautiful work. I think the colours look bang on. That Perry pack of musketeers is one of my favourite sets of ECW figures.

These are really great. The blue jackets and breeches look spot on.

Thanks everyone. The perry sculpts are a joy to paint.

Those are really nice. That shade of blue is ace - what is it?

Very nicely done Sir! Did you use contrast paints on those?

Lovely painting. Much better than mine. Are they going to be Washington’s / Ussher’s dragoons?

I like those - crisp colours but not too crisp, great muted shades.

I'll take you at your word with comments thoughts, in the hope it's not unwelcome! Because faces and particularly eyes are kind of my thing, I have a nice quick cheat to paint realistic looking peepers without having to just shade them in. A lot of painters will just leave a dark line there, on the grounds that eyes don't show at long range, which is valid. I like to put them in where possible, but to make sure they're the right size and shape, I paint the eyes straight after putting a dark skin base colour on. Then I can thin and thin and thin the eyes down to narrow slits and put in the pupils, cleaning it all up with the dark skin shade. Then paint the face as normal after that. I also like to leave a darker patch under the eyes, then insert a thin slice of pale skin shade as a lower eyelid or bags under the eyes - it's so easy to do and really adds life.
