Royalist Oxford Army Foote - work in progress

The ECW armies expansion is nearly complete for the Royalist forces.

The past month has seen the foot get a much needed addition from Oxford:

bare metal (the little 'flags' are tape to cover the points of the lethal pikes)

base coat

base color

blocking

detail layer one

Two more detail layers later and it was time to get the riders on their mounts and make ready for gloss coating.  That was when the temperatures dropped below 6 Celsius which is too low to do the coating.  So a delay happened.  Meaning that the Oxford horse would not be done by April ...

Boy! That is a lot of figures to tackle at once.

The King will be very pleased with those reinforcements :-). That is a very impressive production line. After years of adding pikes after painting I have seen the light and am going to start attaching to figures before, like you have. The little protective flags look like a great health and safety idea!

Another of your impressive production lines David. I'm impressed how quickly you move them through. Mr Ford would be in awe!
