The next step was to add the black (or in my case Umber) to the 'hats', packs and shoes. I use Umber as I think it give a better overall effect. I then added the light grey bedrolls and finally brown for the muskets. I am using the Perrys painting guide from their box of plastic 28mm figures and so also added a 'dappled' effect with the brown to the backpacks.Time taken: approx 1 hour
Next I added a strip of silver for the musket barrels and bayonets. then painted the base green (mainly to see how they were looking)
Time taken: 10 mins
Total time so far: 2hours 10 mins.
