ECW - resurrection after 40 years
The Scots are coming
I am working on a small Scottish covenanter/Montrose force, and hopefully I’ll be posting an update soon. But, in the meantime, here is what I have done with a Scottish light artillery unit.
This is the base for an artillery unit. I have added DAS to the base to give some texture and modulate the surface. I fixed the DAS with pva glue first, and then as it dried I used a wet finger to smooth the surface. I also pushed the three guns into the DAS before it fully dried to make an impression for later, and once dried off, I coated it with pva 50/50 and fine sand, and later added some flock.
Once the figures were added (I cut off the bases and pinned them to the base), I finished with some additional flocking of different browns and greens, and some “bushes”; finally sealing with a 10% pva solution.
I am in the midst of painting six Scottish foote, and five cavalry units. Be back with you soon.
Great stuff. Really enjoyed reading through this with my morning coffee. Keep up the good work!
Thank you. The inspiration came from my son so “no pressure”
