Title: "King George Commands And We Obey": SYW British Army
Post by: Jemima Fawr on 14 June 2021, 11:41:31 AM
I'm now starting to understand why you don't see many SYW British armies around... These buggers take more than twice as long to paint as the French!  >:(

The figures are Eureka 18mm and the flags are by Maverick Models.

A lot more on my blog: http://www.jemimafawr.co.uk/2021/06/10/king-george-commands-and-we-obey-my-seven-years-war-british-army/

Those are some lovely figs.  I particularly like the grenadiers!

Indeed. I've painted a few commercially and feel your pain. Funny thing is, I don't get commissioned to paint many SYW French armies - funny that. lol

Nice job. would fancy painting 18mm even less (wouldn't).

Superb!! Great work, the grenadiers are top notch. Indeed the Brits are a pain with all the lace, but lovely when you see them like this. :)
