Hi Scott Great job, good choice in colour for the militia too, I think, they could possibly have been issue some red coats by the Brits, nice job on the Victrix too, well done.

Hi Dan Thanks for the comments. The next Spanish Militia I do will have Green coats. I've already started on my next 32 VICTRIX also, (not sure on what Regt though,…).

They look great! Very clean paint job. If I may… have you ever considered dip? Those British would look INSANE dipped… last night I just dipped some cleanly painted Warhammer 40k Praetorians for a buddy who is selling them and they came just mindnumbingly nice. Anyway, keep it up!

Hi Lord A. I have considered Dip, (Army Painter). I might have another look at the idea. Cheers

I don't recommend dipping plastic figures. I did a bunch of ACW Confederates last year, using both the Perry plastics and the new 2nd gen Old Glory figures. The metal OGs dipped just fine. But the Perry plastics were a mess. They're too smooth, so the dip hangs on them like a shade, or pools in places you don't want it, like faces. The metal figures have much more little details, and more dramatic angles and grooves that lend themselves to the Dip.

"I don't recommend dipping plastic figures.They're too smooth, so the dip hangs on them like a shade, or pools in places you don't want it, like faces". Hi I suspected as much. Hmmmm,… now I'm in a binde Maybe as an experiment I'll dip just some spare pipers or drummers or flank coy guys, (I have more than a few).
