I was wondering what the total time painting you would spend for an average 32-40 man unit of infantry or 12-16 man unit of cavalry in 28mm of ECW, Napoleonics, ACW, Crusaders etc? Now I have a large collection of ACW that I painted and I would say that generally they are less time consuming in painting from priming to sealing than the ECW or Napoleonics, but I thought I would add it just to get idea's on painting times. Also is there anything you try to do to cuts corners on painting time that do not effect the quality of your work?
Thanks in advance and cheers.
OOH, time spent painting 28mm!!? It may be that I´m not used to them yet but they take a while...at the moment I´ve managed to get 11 from 80 done, (Perry medievals) in two weeks. Ok I am painting my 20mm stuff at the same time but they do take a LOT longer!! I think I´ll get faster but when i will learn to cut corners???? I don´t know.

Depends on what quality you want them at, I recently painted a ECW horse regt for my mate, to a good wargaming standard, no frills only the face and hands were inked and highlighted, they took me around 10 hours...I think??
