Anglo-Allied Infantry, 1815

Hooray, and Hoopty-doo!  After a very long, long, long-running painting effort, I have reached something of a milestone in my Waterloo painting project.  All the infantry for the Anglo-Allied army is now completed!  

By my count, I have painted about 310 figures for 1/72 scale infantry, in order to bring the army to the tabletop.  A few cavalry and gunners remain, but nothing major when compared to what's been done - not long before the Anglo-Allied army can be cleared away, and work can begin on the French one!


The whole collection - redcoats on the left, blue-coated Dutch in the middle, and  Green/Black-coated 'others' on the right.

British infantry and KGL - the figures have not yet been washed in a Devlan-Mud-style coat, and so look a bit bright and lacking in definition.

Trivia fact: I hate painting white straps!

Figures vary immensely, but the Airfix ones stand out as being particularly poor when compared to others, such as Revell and Italeri.
