Work has now begun on the lace, next step is to apply some shade to it.

Hi Roger,
That is some fantastic brush work mate, I can't believe they are only 30mm. Looking forward to the next update.

Cheers Richie, I should get some more done today.

Looks pretty good, Roger. I am curious for the flag.

Cheers

Thanks Martin. Flags are the thing I find the most difficult to paint so we'll see how it goes. .

Roger.

Outstanding! How will you mount these?

All the best,
Dan

Cheers Dan. I haven't thought that far ahead yet so they'll go on a piece of foam board until something appropriate crops up. I've got about another 20 French cavalrymen c.1700 so the might all get displayed together........ one day.

Roger.

Excellent Roger......wee bit of flash on the shaft below the flag and on the bell of the bugle that could 'drag' the brush.

Cheers
Derek

Thanks very much Del.
I'm not surprised you've spotted some flash, I've been removing loads as I've gone along. I was way to keen to get started painting and the clean up was very shoddy. I'll try harder next time.

Roger.

I'm very very slowly removing flash from the San Marino Crossbowmen set. It's a real chore, particularly around the bowstrings. Can't wait to start painting.
The cavalry figures should look nothing short of spectacular when displayed together. I suppose the problem when painting over an extended period is to maintain a consistant technique.
Derek

Bowstrings!

Great work so far Roger.

Marc

Cheers Marc.
