With the announcement of the release of 'Bugles to the West', a Western variant of TMWWBK in March 27, I dragged out my 15/18mm Blue Moon US Cavalry and made a start. I always wanted to get a slightly Hollywood look based on my childhood favourite Western movie, Sam Peckingpah's 'The Glory Guys' so when I bought them I spent hours creating Greenstuff bandannas for them - not easy on such tiny figures!
I'm pleased with these. painting 15/18mm is tricky - one has to go large with the highlights and in hindsight some of my base coat colours could have been darker to enhance the contrasts, but these will do - only about 6 evenings with an hour or two each evening to get these from undercoat to complete, which is staggeringly quick by my standards!
