She's been working on them for a while now. She initially started last year, and the time it has taken is more about adolescent procrastination than any desire for perfection. But finally my 12 year old daughter painted her first unit:

I told her the colours to use, gave her a quick example of how to do it, and she did the rest. I've never painted old bronze with its green tinge before so I mixed up the paint for her. It looks quite grey to me, but I think it still does the trick.

These skeletons are going towards her Hades inspired force for Mortal Gods Mythic when it finally releases. She isn't a goth, but she definitely likes the idea of Hades and an undead warband much more than the other options. I finally think I have converted one of my children into playing little toy soldiers with me - when she isn't busy on her phone.
The other thing that I got finished today was my French dragoons. These are the Bouville Regiment that served in Spain, and I'm pretty sure that I've got there colours as correct as they are going to get.

These are all Warlord Games plastics, but I used some green stuff to convert their caps to the correct dragoon shape.
Next on the conveyor belt are some Star Wars Legion Rebel Commandos. Hopefully they will be up here this weekend.
