Until you got to the sabots it sounded like my wife's preparations for going out!

Sleep with clean hands ...

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Pierre the Shy has different priorities so I'll be doing two small units of Cuirassiers and one or two units of pistol armed horse depending on how many there are and what will fit on my painting rods ;) :)

Using these as bodyguards for Dukes of Argyll and Leven respectively - how historic these are depicted as cuirassiers is purhaps open to question but what gamer doesn't like to have some heavies around :)

Using PM ECW figures for these really just needed to flatten out the pouring channels on the bottom of the bases, they are very nice clean figures.

I will be very happy to get the first units back for basing, first unit completion is always a milestone for a new period, and I have been dabbling in the Scots ECW period for a couple of years now.  :-bd
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.

Finished preparing my 3 units of Parliamentary Horse :)
Sorted them and the Scots ready for when the painting rods are free :-w

Waiting for the touch ups to fully dry before washing the current batch :-w

Cut and glued bases for 10 more hedges  :)

Doh!   The context made me think you were talking about a different manufacturer from the reet of the project, so I assumed..........

It took me a minute to twig the first time he used PM ;)

Pierre the Shy has wandered from the true path  :d

He just hasn't delivered those ones to me to paint yet

PM Miniatures?!?

Well I wasn't talking about young Neve (non-NZ residents may need to think about that one  ;))

Leon is 100% correct by PM I meant Pendraken Miniatures.

In what way have I wandered from the true path Paul? Those "other guys" are still in the one true scale i.e. 10mm O:-)
