That’s looking good, you had a productive Friday evening what with sorting me out :D
Although, word to the wise, that workbench doesn’t look too stable.

Being of an orderly turn of mind at the moment, I decided to have a closer look at my undercoating options before cracking on with various projects - testing out which delivers best finish for fastest time:

Front Rank English troops for 1745 - L to R: Halfords Black with a Halfords White overspray, Halfords White, Black Enamel wash.

The first one looks awfully crude in digital photography, the second a little bland when it comes to painting (a fourth option might be to undercoat white and use a Magic Wash to pick out the detail). The third is my favoured one at present, especially as with a little wire work the bare metal virtually paints itself, but sometimes the enamel doesn't always take the acrylic paint so well.

Very good, Simon. Worth a quick dash of Ray Chandler:

“Down these mean streets/corridors a man must go who is not himself mean (I prefer careful with money), who is neither tarnished (hey, I bathe regularly-ish) nor afraid (ok, let's park that one for the moment). He is the hero (oh dear, is that compulsory?); he is everything (well, let's not totally strip the shelves). He must be a complete man (last time I looked) and a common man (sadly, yes, very) and yet an unusual man (look, I told you all that in confidence). He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor (ok, now you're just taking the piss) — by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it (yes, definitely taking the piss). He must be the best man in his world (due to low self-esteem, not even when alone) and a good enough man for any world (soooo, it's really not looking good....)."

How compatible are these with the Flags of War figures? They look much 'chunkier'?
