Very good job on those. I love the colors you picked out and especially the unit and country shoulder patches. Bases also look fantastic. Only constructive criticism would be to use thinner coats of paint on the faces and hands. Those ESCI sculpts have excellent facial detail, far better than Caesar or most Pegasus figs, but you have obscured it just a bit. Overall, though, I would give you a very solid A- grade.

A fantastic set of figures and you have made them stand out. Outstanding painting. Love the realistic fade you achieved on the uniforms. Great work.
