Test Mini for Royal Irish Fusiliers

[Anna Elizabeth]

Thanx to you both. I'm pleased with them, this is the Vallejo Luftwaffe Uniform layered over the blue. I'm glad I got the opinions of people here, I think they will look much better now.

[Belisarius]

Yes, definitely an improvement, that's my maternal grandfather,s old regiment , by the way.

[Anna Elizabeth]

That's awesome, Belisarius! When did he serve with them?

And thank you, I like them betters with the blue-gray too.

[Mad Guru]

I also think the new color looks great!  Well done.  Look forward to seeing the flu unit when you complete them.

Thanx, Guru. Just a few more days, I think. I've got the basing standing by too.

[Belisarius]

Hi Elizabeth, he served before and during the First World War , I have his service number and medals. My paternal grandfather served in the Royal Inniskilling Dragoons, another famous regiment. What rules are you using for the Colonial period ?

[Anna Elizabeth]

Hi, that's really interesting about your ancestors.

I have "Black Powder" so far, and the "Zulu!" supplement, for big battles.

I'm thinking of getting TSATF, but I'm not sure yet.

[Belisarius]

Yes, my group are very fond of Black Powder, I think they,d work well for  the colonial period although I d,ont like them for Napoleonic,s.  I,m slowly building up an A.W. Independance army ( Revolution) on your side of the pond , and we,ll use B.P. for it.  Look forward to your future posts, good luck with the project.

[Anna Elizabeth]

Thank you. I've been thinking of starting British for AWI, but I think I'd better stay focused on Colonials for awhile.

good job anna

may have you got a suggestion about the bayonnet ?

for me she is so brillant (in french ''neuve brillante"), may be a little black ink shade an some little métal gun  brush => look my beja rifle men for idea or inspiration.   

it's my little point of view.

sorry !!!!!

[Anna Elizabeth]

That's a good idea, I think I will tone them down a bit with washes.

No need to apologize, this is why I'm posting them, to get feedback.

I used Vallejo Model Air Steel, and it is *very* shiny.

[Clawed_Greengrass]

That blue looks so much better now. If i can make a suggestion? Paint the bayonet the same colour as the metal on the rifle then give it a light drybrushing of silver... mostly towards the pointy end. I recon the whole unit will then look top notch

[Anna Elizabeth]

That sounds good, I'll try that.

[Deedles]

Yup . They are looking fine!

[Anna Elizabeth]

Thanx, Deedles. I've gotten a couple more done.

Lately, I've been doing 1 R.I.F., one KRRC, one '44 Commando, and one Supers or what-not. 

Making progress and not getting bogged down and bored.
