Sir Charles Fairfax regiment of foote

After a little break from painting, well 2 weeks. I decided to crack on with the ECW project. This time the first of my Parlaimentarian infantry. I went for Sir Charles Fairfax's regiment, simply because I had the flag. For the uniform I went with a blue grey, simple choice following a grey undercoat.




Happy to make a start on the Parlaimenatarians. Luckily just 3 more infantry regiments to go. I've also come to hate painting pikes. These have been undercoated brown to save a little time, hopefully. I've also been making some more progress on hedges, adding another 5 and half feet to the collection. I did some of these using a scouring pad to make them look like maintained hedges around villages.

  1. Nice! I picked up a couple of boxes "just in case"! Did you notice that Matt at wargamesinthedungeon recently embarked upon a similar project? He put the pikemen at porte in between the pikemen with pikes upright. I think it looks good and avoids the pikes sticking out over the base. Your thoughts on his basing scheme?

    1. I had seen, his basing will help protect the pikes. Think I'll continue with them in the front rank as I purely like the look
