Jean-...Thank you for your kind comments, gentlemen. Jean-Louis, yes, you're right, I did chose to paint the gaiters of this unit in a pale buff instead of black because of the darkening effect when viewed en-masse on a green/brown wargames table. As with food, the first bite is with the eye, and I want my figures to look appealing.<BR/><BR/>The last musketeer figures are complete. I just need to finish the command element and then base the regiment. It should be done by this weekend. Then it'll be on to IR2, von Wöhl...A Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834159033854153921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640326026519606550.post-14535220329769854762007-11-16T05:05:00.000-08:002007-11-16T05:05:00.000-08:00Nice bright colour combination, the whole unit wil...Nice bright colour combination, the whole unit will look nice<BR/><BR/>Allanold-tiddershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055135576841243361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640326026519606550.post-57496973451192772512007-11-16T02:43:00.000-08:002007-11-16T02:43:00.000-08:00For me I *do* prefer white gaiters( attempt of a p...For me I *do* prefer white gaiters<BR/>( attempt of a posteriori rationalization: when the regiment is viewed 'en masse' on the tabletop, black gaiters tend to 'darken' it, to subdue the shades by 'polluting' the colors by the addition of what, at that scale, acts as general grey, and thus make the uniform 'dull'...<BR/><BR/>Maybe black gaiters were less common during the WAS than from SYW on? That may well be the (unconscious) reason of this preference?<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Jean-Louisabdul666https://www.blogger.com/profile/16172686098173637906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640326026519606550.post-63864267807753206402007-11-14T03:49:00.000-08:002007-11-14T03:49:00.000-08:00Very nice color combination on your uniforms.
