Hessians and Brunswickers almost done

I finished painting the Hessian and Brunswick infantry: 9 units of c.50 figures. The Brunswickers have painted flags but I haven't done the Hessens' yet as the guide isn't quite so straightforward for them. So a bit of time is needed.

The process was quite quick, though I haven't added up the hours I spent doing them. One of the key factors was the 'production line' technique, doing a colour for all units at the same time. At least in theory - there are times when the scheduling isn't quite right. For example, when doing the combined grenadier units, there was a bit of going and froing because I hadn't got EVERYTHING organised whereby I painted all yellow cuffs and turn backs on the line infantry and then had to re-open the yellow for certain elements of the grenadiers. One feature of this approach, apart from being quicker, is that for a long time you don't have a finished unit, and then suddenly when that last cuff is done, you have several units ready. [I do own up however, to having modified the process slightly to get the Brunswickers done ahead of the Hessens].

Apologies for the dark background of the bases. This is the results of the spray undercoat. I stick the figures to the bases with blutack to paint undercoat and paint them. Then I roughly half of these bases as their final 'home'. Half because they'll be in 2 ranks not one.

The cavalry (1 unit of dragoons and 1 combined hussar unit) still need quite a lot of work. And I haven't touched the jägers yet, beyond the undercoat. The figures I'm using for the jägers are actually Austrian musketeers firing (I prefer them to the actual jäger models) and will just clip the bayonets off and the muskets a bit shorter. I'm pretty confident I can finish the cav tomorrow and get them all stuck to bases. Saturday will be a 'rest day' as I'm out all day/early evening. Maybe Sunday will see me get the bases done apart from the final 'flock stage'.

What comes next, Reichsarmee or Dutch?
