Back to the 2mm WSS Battle of Almansa project
Here we have 2 Brigades of English foot, MacCartney's and Breton's
Each unit consists of 240 2mm figures
In a previous post I hand wrote the names of each unit on the bottom of the base. Unfortunately my handwriting is like a 5 year old's. So after a quick experiment on MSPaint, I came up with these, the brown colour is a close match to the brown on the bases and they don't catch your eye too much. Which is what I wanted.
I did add a coloured block on the left of the label, to denote the country of the unit. Red being English.
McCartney's Brigade - Gorge's, Breton's, MacCartney's & Portmore's
Breton's Brigade - Mourdant's, Foot Guards, Lord Nassau's & Bowles'
Don't look too close, 2mm are hard to see let alone paint!
All the flags come from my NYW collection and were shrunken down to fit 2mm. Now they are larger than they should be, but in my opinion need to be.
So for the points
8 bases @5 pts each = 40 pts
2 bases @1/2 pts = 1 point
For a total of 41 points!!!
AT the scale these units are I doubt anyone will ntic the oversized flags, but they do all look good.
ReplyDeleteThey could have been smaller, but you'd lose the detail. These were a pain to cut out and glue together, I wouldn't fancy anything smaller.
DeleteJust some really strong dudes carrying the flags, that's all!
ReplyDeleteForty-one points is a nice score.
Cheers Alex, they've all got tree truck arms!
DeleteNice layout of the information on the bases, good looking units. They look grand lined up.
ReplyDeleteI'm very pleased hoe they turned out.
DeleteNice work, Ray!
ReplyDeleteCheers Jonathan!
DeleteCracking work Ray, they look really good, you have made the right decision on the regimental name label, it really look nice, good font and nice colour, blending in well with the base.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie, I'm glad you approve.
DeleteThese are all coming along nicely Ray. Great job.
ReplyDeleteCheers Rich!
DeleteNice work Ray and the labels look great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence.
DeleteNice looking blocks of troops Ray. Sorry to be picky, but I think the lace on the MacCartneys button holes isn't quite right......!! 😂
ReplyDeleteDamn! I knew it should have been yellow!!!!
DeleteWell done, brother.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark.
