I did this kind of model making when I was younger but got too busy when I had kids. I’m looking forward to getting back into the hobby now that they are leaving the nest as it were. Thanks for the video and detailed information.
This video is 'just the job', because I just got Absolute Emporer rules from Osprey and warlord starter sets for £56 each...so while I wait for them to arrive I will acquire the paints from your video. You certainly 'know your onions!' Cheers!
That's great. Have fun painting! I have done a series on putting together and painting the Perry late French line as well which has a slightly different approach for painting if you want to mix things up.
Great video,very helpful and had not heard of the Quickshade medium so thanks for that tip.I notice you use Kolinsky sable brushes,I have recently bought a couple ,they seem very good.Cheers
The medium makes such a difference to the washes - far less pooling and better flow into the recesses. The Kolinsky sable brushes are much better at keeping a point than the artificial fibre brushes so a great thing to have.
Culloden Painting Studio I have just ordered some of the wash through my local model shop which is opening a week on Monday ,and a couple more brushes via internet.Have noticed already how much better the brushes are.
I've just recently gotten into Napoleonic models (Warlord Game's super cheap Waterloo set is to thank for that), and this has been really helpful for me with painting my French, thanks a lot.
Hello. You could use brown instead of grey in the same fashion. There's a video in this series which talks about French flank companies where you can see some voltigeurs in brown coats.
The drybrushing was done with some cheap synthetic make up brushes, and the detail work with sable brushes. I was using some generic "Kolinsky Sable" brushes but have recently started with Raphael series 8404.

Hobbying around my kids is tricky too!
Very good tutorial. Will come back to this when I get a box!
Great. I hope it serves you well.
Brilliant Rory, one of the best on UA-cam..
Ha! Too kind.
Ruaridh, super video and really well explained, thank you. You make it look easy. Looking forward to your next one
Thanks again
This was brilliant even through the many years of painting Napoleonics i still learnt loads thank you
Cheers. I don't think you can ever stop learning the minutiae of uniform details!
Excellent start for a new video series, I will certainly be following with great interest. 👍😁 just subscribed to make sure I don’t miss the next one.
Thanks for the sub!
Great new series. In the process of building Napoleonic force for Sharp Practice myself at the moment, so this is very timely. 🙂
Cheers. Hope that the videos are useful
Very good idea and as always a very good work! Greetings from Germany!!!
Thanks very much!

I am very glad it has been of use for you!
Its very helpful indeed as i`m more or less a beginner with only half a dozen regiments to my name
I would expect the same thing, but with shades of brown, would aplly for those tan greatcoats? if not, could you make a video on that?

@@CullodenPaintingStudio thanks!
What do you use as the flagpole and bases?
Bases are 20mm MDF squares and a movement tray from www.warbases.co.uk. For flagpoles I often use 1mm brass rod.
What type of paint brushes do you use?
The drybrushing was done with some cheap synthetic make up brushes, and the detail work with sable brushes. I was using some generic "Kolinsky Sable" brushes but have recently started with Raphael series 8404.
Culloden Painting Studio very interesting! Thank you :)
Just prime it black & start listening from 03:00 👍🏼
Haha! Painting instruction does begin around 3:00. Intro spiel is for the newcomers to Napoleonics as a whole!
Hiya mate! think that the deep sea grey is in fact Dark Sea Grey SKU: 70.991?
Slip of the tongue! Yeah Dark Sea Grey is what I meant.
Do you thin metallic paints?
I don't usually thin them. Most are good to use straight from the bottle.
is that garlic or onions hanging from his rugsack?
I am going for onions!
