Blenheim era Brits 30 Mar 2014

The optivisor has been a game changer though. I can suddenly do the same sort of detail that has been beyond me for at least a decade

Ha, ha! My vanity, as yet, prevents me from employing one. Besides, I still seem to see fine close up. My distance vision has always required correction. I *do* have to take the contact lenses out to paint, though. My eye doctor, who is also a miniatures gamer, laughs at me every time I tell him I refuse to give in to a visor or reading glasses!

Exactly the same for me

If helps avoid eyes train and extends my good vision by a year or two, then I can live with looking odd whilst painting details

Based on some fresh information, the grenadier caps for North and Greys needed a little reworking. I also took the chance to redo the eyes:



Then it was onto the left flank companies of the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards (with a different approach to the faces, which probably means revisiitng North and Grey's again  :: ):



Next up, the left flank companies of North and Grey's and the centre companies of the 1st Foot Guards

They look smashing mate 

What sort of terrain are you going for?

[Captain Blood]

Lovely. Nice wigs. Or perhaps they are Whigs?

[Malamute]

Splendid

[janner]

Lovely. Nice wigs. Or perhaps they are Whigs?

I think they are, Tories would have required me selling off figures rather than buying new ones  

edit:

What sort of terrain are you going for?

Nothing special at this stage. I repainted my boards in November and have a good supply of medieval buildings that'll do for now 

[Marine0846]

Lovely painting.
I do like the Front Rank figures.
Great painting on their faces.
You will have a fine looking army when done.

More WSS Brits, right flanks Foot Guards and the first two battalions:

[warburton]

Really nice. Wouldn't mind a shot of the flag with the sun; who makes it (or did you do it by hand!)?

[janner]

It's by Flags of War
