This evening I touched up the Continentals, militia, British line and lights, and got them based. The basing still needs to be 'textured', but I'm pleased with the spacing. The only thing I might change is the size of the command bases. Currently they're on 40x30mm bases, as opposed to the 20x30mm bases for the rank and file. I might put them on 30x30mm bases. I intend for command bases to be supernumerary anyway so base size doesn't matter too much.

British lights in open order. Based so I can put them in loose order.

British line. In this case the 10th Foot. Being a Yellowbelly, they have to be my first Crown unit.

Tomorrow I'll start preparing the new acquisitions with the intention of getting the whole lot completed this coming week. I have some flags somewhere too to finish off the command stands. Fortunately I have four spare Ferrero Rocher boxes so I don't have to stuff myself with choccies in order to store them safely.
You are making very good progress!
ReplyDeleteThe basing you've gone for works very well and I think the smaller command bases size mentioned would work better visually.
ReplyDeleteAll looks really good - I'll follow this with interest. Shame about the choccies, though.
ReplyDeleteDon’t worry I’ve got plans to fill the empty boxes.
DeleteThat reminds me. I probably need some more magnetic paper.
