As promised, today I can share a few pictures I took early this evening. First batch, it's the two red-clad regiments of Electoral Palatinate, the Saxe-Meiningen Regiment, and the Irish in French service Abermarle Regiment. The former can be recognized for the green trousers, while the latter shows green vest and red trousers/stockings.
In both cases, I painted the drummers in reverse colors. These figures are 15mm by Essex.
The first pic shows the two units on sticks.
I put some extra attention to the officers, standard bearers and drummers, and I am quite satisfied by the result, shown in the next picture.
Now a closer shot of the drummers.
And finally, a detail from the Abermarle Irish unit.
As usual, magnified pictures tend to exacerbate the little errors on 15mm figures, but overall I am quite happy of he outcomes. Next, I will apply the "magic dip", and finally I will paint the shows after the figures will be based. Still some work to do, but so far, so good!
Merry Christmas!

I wonder how close these essex figure compare to the old minifig 15's?
I like these . . . of course our Saxe-Bearstein infantry is red-coated as well.
