I painted these Studio Miniatures as soon as they arrived from their recent Kickstarter. Hopefully I've captured their terrible plight.

I haven't got past opening the box yet! Very nicely done, where did you get the uniform references from?

thanks for all the nice comments. I looked at various sources for the uniform, Osprey North west frontier and old oil paintings etc. One article I read mentioned the officers could have had facing colours on their greatcoats. I decided to add a bit more colour, due to the drab nature of the winter wear.

I remember a Bill Horan diorama of this Last Stand , in an old Military Modelling magazine, and he's depicted an nco in a greatcoat with yellow collar,cuffs and chevrons.
If that's any help ?
I think they look great and agree the added colour works

Cheers

Wow, great work! Really wish I'd gotten around to signing up for that KickStarter. Hopefully they'll be available for sale to the general public relatively soon -- albeit at slightly higher cost.

I remember that great diorama from Military Modelling! It's even more evocative than the famous painting.

Must try to persuade Studio to produce some more packs that replicate other poses from it - casualties, infantry without greatcoats etc.

Does this range have specific nco minis in it,also it would be great to see some of the other poses replicated.

Although very keen on it as a concept I left the skirmish line pack off my pledge in the end for exactly this reason.
Lovely figures but too many in greatcoat/shako combination. Some in Tunic with forage cap or bareheaded would be great to go with this set.

I feel cold just looking at those photos! Nicely done.

Wonderful work! I will use this as a template when I paint mine
