As for the sticks, I came to them rather late myself, so they are a habit that can be picked up.

The hussars and jaegers are particularly striking,I have to admit to often working on multiple units at once, it's helpful for me as I work primarily non uniform types,so I can use one colour or another as I see fit,I must try the stick method as I can see it speeding work up considerably!<br />Best Iaincaveadsum1471https://www.blogger.com/profile/02174163740406928172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648721189080574501.post-51035914792973345302019-04-12T04:58:46.162-07:002019-04-12T04:58:46.162-07:00Indeed, one can have one's butterfy and eat it...Indeed, one can have one's butterfy and eat it, too...wait, that doesn't quite work.

And I have done one or two units like that, but I found that sticking them rows of 3 (generally) on sticks works best for me. Sticking them individually on bottle caps, another very popular method, oddly enough, doesn't. Go figure.

You always find some details that you miss. But keep chugging along and it will all come together. 😀<br />I must be the last person who puts miniatures on thier base before painting them. Maybe I should switch to the stick method that I see every where. ☹️Stewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340930167419307092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648721189080574501.post-58987148262317220302019-04-08T14:25:48.210-07:002019-04-08T14:25:48.210-07:00Thanks, AJ.

With both the freiwilliger hussars and jagers (foot), the motif is that officers have the yellow (high contrast) braiding while the soldiers have black. The hussar officer in yellow on green combined with the black on green hussars, though, is shaping up to be a good look (and being a Packer fan, I'm glad that I've got at least one yellow on green figure!).

The upside is that you will have FOUR new units mustering off the painting desk at once. That will be fun!Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.com
