Hi all, I'm new to dakkadakka but I have collected guardsmen for 15 years. Only recently have I decided to really get into it and improve my painting and modeling skills , I have selected a paint scheme based upon British 1812-1815 soldiers, and I have a few bits that are almost finished and I would like to know any hints or tips or opinions on them.

They look tidy.

Like it.

Keen to see your Kell finished off, a few contrasting colours on the Banner would look cool. Whats the plan there?

Welcome to dakka mate.

Looks like a solid start. Have you decided on a theme for the bases?

How many do you have done? Can we get a group shot?

Sticking with the British theme, union flag style, large diagonal sections to be white, edges red and gold details

I have done most of the command squad, bases wise I'm unsure I'm thinking urban city style, as the theme suits a no camo environment.

Love the white, I'm really digging white on most miniatures now for armor. Really makes them pop

A few more pics of what I have painted up to now you will notice the infantry unit has yellow edging that will be added to the others once my paint order arrives

Almost completed kell just awaiting paint order

That red and white is quite crisp, very good start and good taste.

Looking forward to what you do.

Update on kell all finished except for some edging but still waiting for paints to arrive .
