AB 18mm British 7th Hussars and Royal horse artillery limbers plus guns

These are not my best paint jobs as I am rushing them for a Lasalle game this weekend.  First is the British 7th Hussars, these mini's were brilliant with beautiful detail.  I did have a ton of trouble painting the front of the tunics however.  Next are several Royal horse battery limber x1, as well as Regular foot limbers x2.  I have 3 battery's but one 9lbr is not there as the wheels were missing when I got them.  So I will spare you the close ups I am not happy with them but they will pass for now.     
Also please note that I have these mounted on temp bases as the Litko order I placed will be a long time coming.  I think in the future I will cut my own bases.  to wait 6 weeks for them to arrive is a bit much.  Especially when you thought they might get here in 10-14 days. After these guys I still have 2 KGL Cavalry units of 12 each and a 32 man Cacadore unit plus skirmishers to paint before Saturday God willing.  Anyway here they are...   God Bless you all and Happy Thanksgiving for those in the States.  Also it looks like I gave this post a +1 rating on google, I do not know how I did this, but it was inadvertent...sorry

  4. Thanks everyone, I think you are being generous but...:) The colors for the tonics I use were

    Reaper ocean blue as a base which I mostly covered with the high lighte

    and then Vallejo 70963 Medium Blue for the top layer.

    Hopefully I will have the to KGL cavalry units painted today and the Royal Horse arty crews for one battery. Then I will have what is needed for the game.

    Thanka again all for visiting...

    Cheers

  6. Thanks again... I have a question for all of you that ask about my color selections. I have had 2 different people in the last 2 blog posts ask me about colors that I was using, is this polite speak for check your colors idiot! The aren't right or was the colors used somewhat correct? I have always wondered if I was somewhat color blind so I thought to ask. lol

    Cheers
