What a coincidence, the Naval Brigade are in a Champions league type painting comp over on Steve Dean's forum.
32 previous winners, mostly called Kevin, are fighting it out to see who's the daddy.  lol

I't's probably going to be Kevin vs Kevin in the final but I hope the Sailors win it.  8)

Yes, I think the sailors are his best, although I really like the Gentleman Pirate too.

Then there are these samurai that aren't too bad  ;)

I just slaved over a copplestone Naval Brigade.  I was pleased with them...until I saw that pic.  Now I think mine are sub-standard!

I just slaved over a copplestone Naval Brigade.  I was pleased with them...until I saw that pic.  Now I think mine are sub-standard!  

Funny as I just painted up a small squad too based off the same pic and some research. I actually tried using a slightly darker blue than the Foundry Deep Blue as Navy is so dark it almost looks black. The color turned out nice, but the blue was so dark that the black neckerchiefs are almost invisible against it, which doesn't look great. I think maybe that's why KD went with the slightly lighter Deep Blue.

Also, painting the neck area on these figs is very complex. There are three layers--the back kerchief (don't know the proper name for it), the firing lanyard, and the neckerchief. I practically went blind trying to trace what was what in all the complicated folds around the neckline!

Keep in mind that you can also paint these figs in all tropical white for hot climes or a combo white and blue jackets and trousers.

Where is this figure from? I'm sure I own it and I thought it was part of the Copplestone DA British Officers pack but it's not listed.

So many projects..... so little time.......

Foundry Darkest Africa. Corto Maltese knock-off called 'Malto Cortese' if memory serves. Can't remember the exact pack, but I can find out if you want.
