Very nice. Your whites look great! It's such a hard colour to get right.

Great brushwork! Your color choices for the blues are quite attractive for the chambray shirts and denim trousers.

How do you shade your whites like that? They look great and it's something I've been struggling to do on some of my figures lately.

Nice figs and a bright and clean paint job.

What gaming rules do you plan to use with them?

Thanks for sharing.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!

Greetings all,
Thank you for the kind comments.

Whites: no magic here, it is the Foundry Arctic Grey A and B shades straight from the pot with a highlight of Vallejo Off White! Not a question of shading, but one of highlighting.... starting with the darker tone and working up from that.

Blues: The shirts are Vallejo Dark Blue highlighted up with additions of Vallejo Grey Blue. Trousers being a base coat of Vallejo Dark Prussian Blue, a mid tone of of Vallejo Oxfrord Blue and a final highlight of 50-50 mix of Oxford Blue and Grey Blue.

As for rules, you will have to ask the chap who owns these figures. I only paint....  :)
