Napoleonic British Line Infantry Centre Company Painted For Display

Hi everyone. This video details the painting process for a 28mm metal Perry Miniatures Napoleonic British centre company model for the Peninsular War at the highest level of finish offered by my commission service - "display detail". The process is more involved than other painting guides on the channel and the video isn't streamlined efficiently - the process involved going back to add extra highlights and shading. Sorry if it's not a great watch because of that, but I hope it is interesting nonetheless.
Thanks to my client for asking me to paint all three of his miniatures in this video and the previous.

Superb work Rory. I hope you are well rewarded for such skill and attention to detail.

[@CullodenPaintingStudio]

Thanks dude. Fortunately my clients seem to think I am doing an okay job!

Ruaridh charged me his standard rates for each level of painting with the video as a "freebie". Worth every penny as a tutorial AND the bonus of three lovely figures. Only 27 more to complete the batallion.

Hi, I am trying to glean some tips for improving my painting of 18mm figures. Thanks for sharing this long but fascinating guide. Alan.

[@CullodenPaintingStudio]

Hi Alan, thanks for watching. I hope it is helpful. There are some guides to painting 18mm (and 15mm) on the channel that might be useful for you.

Thank you Ruaridh. Sitting here watching the video and looking at the finished models it is amazing how that extra attention as you go up the scale makes the difference. My idea when I commissioned this was to try to learn how paint figures to a professional standard (not 'cause I'm a cheapskate but because I enjoy the painting!). You have certainly delivered a superb tutorial. Next step if for me to have a go at it myself. I'll let you know how it goes...

I am glad that the videos are a helpful insight into the process. Thanks for the challenge Steve.
