Just an observation, but the jackets have turn backs on the tales which in this case should be red. Now I note that for some reason the colour plate did not show the rear of the uniform so I get why you would miss this, Also a question. Why did you mount the figures together before painting? Doesn't this make the job harder because you have to work around the other figures?
I actually love input like this so thank you for commenting. Napoleonic miniature painters are among the most detail oriented and I really appreciate that. Yes I probably missed the turn backs if I’m completely honest! The painting guide I’m using didn’t show the rear of the uniforms so it slipped my mind. But it’s a great observation and I’ll be sure to look out for that detail in the next units I paint. As far as painting them fully based it’s more of personal preference. It’s not hindering enough to get in my way at least not on these artillery ones. But of course you can paint it and then assemble it that works better. I’m just used to this.
Love your epic videos
