Title: French & Indian Provincials
Post by: Gazjones on 13 March 2013, 08:59:27 PM

Hi Guys, Thought you'd like to see my first batch of F&IW troops for Muskets & Tomahawks.
These are painted as Pennsylvania Provincial infantry. There are 12 troops in all but the other photos were bad:(

I second flag-of-war’s comment.  Really nice figures, well done. I bought a pack of these myself, I  must get round to painting them soon. Which paint did you use, Vallejo by any chance?

Cheers Mate. Yes they're all done with Vallejo.
If you're interested, the green was German cam dark green, then lightened with German cam light green.

Good solid work there. Look great against the background too. Might have to do something similar for my own photo's.

Thankyou very much Guys for the great feedback. It's a great range of figures and steadily increasing, they are also very nice to paint. If you guys are just getting into Muskets & Tomahawks and need the right figures for the job, then i highly recommend these Galloping Major figures.

I'm currently painting some rangers, so i'll post some piccies when done.

Cheers

Gaz
