Perry Miniatures Drummer, Grenadier Company, 92nd of Foot, The Gordon Highlanders.

This lovely Perry sculpt was painted as part of the third Painting Swap on the Steve Dean Painting Forum. He'll be on his way to Toby at Artmaster Studio once I can bear to part with him!

Perry Miniatures Sudan Gordon Highlanders

Copplestone Castings WW1 British Officers.

A chance to paint up these Copplestones. Fantastic sculpts. More to come. Painted here as Officers from the Suffolk Regiment Territorials, a battalion that took part in the Palestine campaign, 1917.

Perry Miniatures Sudan. King's Royal Rifle Corps.

Two chaps from the KRRC. You may find it hard to spot them as they are wearing "invisble grey".

Perry Miniatures Sudan. Grenadier Guards.

A couple of chaps rescued from the Lead Mountain. The Officer is featured in the "Doin' Faces" tutorial page. 3rd Battalion, Grenadier Guards, 1885, dressed in experimental khaki.

Yeomanry

I've often wondered if one of the heads from Woodbine Designs would work on a Great War Miniatures body. So.... here we have a Woodbine head wearing Wolseley Foreign Service helmet on a GWM early WW1 British Cavalry body. I think it works. Painted up as a trooper of Yeomanry, probably in Egypt, 1916... before Yeomanry regiments, lost their swords prior to Allenby's campaign in Sinai and Palestine.

Another Old Friend

Painted up as a Private from the Cambridgeshire Territorials, late 1917-18.

Just for Beccas... WW1 Khaki Recipe

Beccas, the khaki mix on this figure is the product of hours of experiment (I kid you not). WW1 British khaki has a greener tinge to it and is a completely different shade to that worn on WW2 battledress, I have a couple of pieces of original WW1 khaki clothing in my collection and in certain light it looks green and in different light it looks brown. After months of trial and error I've settled on this:
A base coat of Vallejo Model Colour Russian Green. The mid tone is Vallejo Model Colour English Uniform and highlights are Vallejo Model Colour Green Brown. The puttees here are done with Vallejo Model Colour Tan Earth, washed with Peat Brown ink and highlighted with Tan Earth with a little white added for the top highlight. You could do the puttees with the same paint combination as the main uniform, but I prefer just to add a different tone for the sake of visual appearance. Hope that helps!
