I've thrown a bit of colour at the figures and I'm now at the depressing painting black bits part. There's a lot of black leather on the horses and of course it all has to be done fairly carefully.
The Dragoons themselves do start to look much better when their hats and boots are painted in. Hopefully the faces will fill in a bit when I get to them. The heads do look a little on the small side but in their defence I've seen people down town in the market who look not a lot dissimilar.
The horses sre coming on quite well. I've settled for a darker look to the horse which should enhance the pink and white of the shabraque.
There's something about the pose of the first set of horses that makes me think "Dobbn" as I paint them.
They should look reasonable as a group when finished. As it is I'll have to get back to painting black.
No colours any more I want them to turn black. (Help!)
Onwards!
