Blue Coats & Betsy Ross

I never claimed to be original...

Perry plastics with GMB flag

I painted this with my usual black undercoat/block colour technique. I do have trouble painting plastics this way as the undercuts are not deep enough to take my usual slap-on style and are often too detailed. I’ve solved this by taking my Eric Morecambe specs off and looking at them at arm’s length: if I can’t see it I don’t care!

Next up is a regiment of brown/faced red Continentals....
