Nicely precise painting, they do the business.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

I do like these.
What the story behind shiny C18th. ?
I have quiet a few SSM and they would look good in shiny colours

They were originally painted with proper highlights and finished in matt but they looked a bit sad. When I looked through A Gentlemans War and a few classics such as Charge! I just decided they needed an Imagi-nation shiny makeover. They just needed to be shiny.

They look nice, Zen. I've thought about an 18C Imagi-nation myself, but never had enough spare cash to engage in another project.

I have two more units of 12 muskets, one of 12 grenadiers, six dragoon and six skirmishers so if I add half a dozen Hussars and a couple of guns it should make a decent army for AGW.
