Here's another unit painted up for Loyalhanna Outpost of some rangers from the Galloping Major Miniatures French and Indian War line of figures. These are painted up as the Pennsylvania Rangers:
The coat is painted with Cell Vinyl's olive, then highlighted with a drybrush of Cell Vinyl's Olive Drab. A light wash of a mix of our homemade olive and a darker green was then applied.
The leggings are a mix of different colors: Cell Vinyl's Light Brown #10, Brown #10, and Vallejo's Gold Brown. Some washes of some homemade browns provided the shading.
Ground cover is a simple two step process: First a layer of Woodland Scenics' Earth Blend with a second layer of patches of Scenic Express' Alpine Meadows blend. It takes a little bit more time to do two layers on the basing but it does help to step up the appearance of the figures by a bit.
Again, these are nice figures: detailed with lots of character. There's a nice variety of equipment to give the figures in a unit individuality.
These are really cool, the FIW and AWI are a couple of periods I haven't started yet, although I do have an excellent uniform book for the AWI, post like these make me want to start, well done.
