ECW Cornish Muster - Petronel Horse & Artillery men

The snow has interrupted the completion of this force as I cannot do the gloss spray in the cold and wet, otherwise it ends up more like a semi-translucent frosting than a clear gloss.

In the meantime I have set about to get these photos in progress laid out for your examination.

The Cornish Royalist forces for my ECW force are a bit antiquated, using the Elizabethan themed miniatures, so they have an antique feel compared to the planned Oxford forces, which will be the Warlord ones.

gray base coat

dark brown underlay

'damp brush' white

color base

mix of brown and black ink
With this set I am also doing some more artillerists and wanted to use the same fast painting techniques to compare with the others.  If it works out then I may do more with this faster system.

grey base coat, one shot is with flash the other without

still wet layer of brown/black mix to create the deep layer

the 'wet brush' white (well more of an eggshell as I mixed in some burnt umber so it was not brilliant titanium white)

the orange under color, this could be more red or more yellow depending on the final color you are seeking

Ink layer of brown and black ink, thinned out and put on liberally

the 'skin' tones

Next posting will have more of the color layers done, as these minis were painted just before the pulp game (which separated the photo set).
