Damn good, better than I can do. Perhaps a matte varnish over the glossy coat, after the glossy coat has dried for at least a full day. Also, I notice higher contrast works at 3 foot distance, so exaggerate highlights/shadows? That said, I have trouble doing that because I paint close up, not 3 feet away.
But very nice work.
-
You've done these in a beautiful style, and the colors are light, and highlighted well too.
Not a criticism at all, and the only suggestion I could offer would be to vary their hair color if you're doing larger [unit/group] quantities.
-
Beautiful figs! My only 2 suggestions have already been mentioned - a matte varnish and different hair colors...
Well done, though!
-
Thank you all!
When I paint a soldier of an infantry regiment, there is always a chance to hide the least successful figures behind the backs of better painted figures. ;)
I will add new photos until I paint the whole regiment.

A nice start.
I notice the faces have a number of different styles applied, is that deliberate experimentation?
If so, I'd say a combination of 2nd from left and middle figures in the bottom two most recent photos would be spot on.
Hope to see more.
Cheers

Thanks for the comment.
Yes, I'm experimenting with faces.
Please advise how best to arrange the base

I'm not a gamer so I generally base figures individually, rather than to the requirements of specific rule sets.
For me, a base ought to be a little wider than the mini.
If you mean the decorative aspect of basing; the workbench section of the forum is full of great threads regarding how to go about it.
Everybody has a different style, I'm not the best at it so I think you will find much better guidance there than I can offer here.

Please forgive me. Give me a link to the section on grounds (bases). I do not know much about the forum.
The thing is, I don't play wargame either. Because my Confederates are so ferocious that there is no northerner army within 600 km of me. :D
I plan to put the figures on the group stands. The soldiers will be shoulder to shoulder. I think it will be historical.
Regards,
Dmitry.

Here is a link to the workbench section

Or....
Tap the search bar on the left of the screen and type in any related terms, such as -
Base
Bases
Basing
As I say, I'm no expert on basing, I would love to be able to help further, perhaps a look at the baccus site, where they have a Basing system, might give you some ideas.
It's sold around 6mm but the system applies to all scales
