I have actually found a couple more figures I need to paint as well as the last unit of whitecoats, so the final full monty view of the whole lot will still be a little while coming  ::)

Can’t wait....we need plenty of gratuitous shots of your terrain as well ;)

Re: Captain Blood's ECW resurrection... P.29 The Compleat Yellowcoat Regt. of Foot

And finally...
After a short diversion to the North West Frontier via the Wars of the Roses, I've popped back to the C17th to finish off my final ECW unit - Boscastle's whitecoat musketeers.

Four of these are newly painted from scratch, including the officers. The other eight are retreads of a large batch of painted figures I bought off eBay with a view to a bit of light touching up (ooer).
This cunning plan didn't really work out awfully well, as - apart from their white coats and bread bags - I had to pretty much repaint / overpaint everything else on them anyway, so it wasn't that much of a time-saver in the end.
They're also a bit of a lumpen bunch, which is why I left them to last. One or two of these are amongst my least favourite figures from the entire vast Renegade / Bicorne ECW oeuvre. Several of the others are duplicates of figures I've already got multiples of spread through other regiments. So all in all, not really my favourite unit, although they've turned out alright.
Plus I've now pretty much run out of steam on this project for the time being, although I've still got a couple of character figures to go  ::)

Anyway, it's currently standing at almost 400 figures... Should make for a sizeable game of The Pikeman's Lament lol

As promised, I'll now get the whole lot onto one groaning tabletop and shoot pics of everything together :)

Neatly painted, nice shading and I like this creamy white!
Eager to see your armies in full deployment! Cheers!

I think your collection grew to a medium Army. Now Pikements Lament is becoming to small for your army.  lol

Another lovely unit, and congratulations on (almost) finishing your project. Sad news for us though, as it means no new updates.

I think you're wrong to be negative about them. They look excellent to me - although that's probably because of all the work you've had to put into them.

Lovely work Richard. Wow! 400 miniatures, that's quite a collection, well done.
Best wishes,
Helen

Maybe not your favorite figs by the time you reached this unit but you can't tell thanks to the effort you put into them.  A great looking unit in my opinion.  Looking forward to the overly laden table shots.
