Empress Naval Brigade, just done to gaming standard. Based on pennies and then mounted in movement trays for flexibility...

Looks like a pretty good 'gaming standard' to me!  Nice work.  I too have been experimenting with Warbases's movement trays for versatility, including drilling magnets into them to hold the 1ps snugly.

Those look cracking, and you've got through them far faster than I have!

Your "gaming standard" is very nice, indeed!  My "squint a little, stick tongue out to the side and labor over them" standard is levels below your quality.  Well done!  :)

Excellent work - they look really good. 

Interestingly different take on the colours of the uniforms and shirts from the Empress sailors I painted.  But there is so much freedom with sailors.

I much prefer your shade of blue to mine, too.

Well done. Really like the sword and top-hat fellow. Empress, you say?

I like the realistic approach and the PJ, even if I can't really fully appreciate it from the pictures
A bit sharper and closer up next time please

Only a detail - if they are to represent british, the neckerchiefs should be black
