Got to say, you do amazing amazing work with brown.

Thanks all

I've made a start on the jackets and trousers of the current batch

[paulr]

Finished base coating the jackets and trousers of the current batch last night

I should be dry brushing the highlights but will have to wait for it to cool down a bit, currently mid 20s C (high 70s F)

[paulr]

Evening has cooled down to 18C (64F) so dry brushed about half the jackets and one third of the bonnets

I've only got 7 brushes that are worn enough but still good enough for localised dry brushing

[paulr]

Dry brushed the rest of the jackets and bonnets

Base coated boots and hats

Painted the first side of the bases for the next batch of hedges

Manes, tails & hooves done

I had to finish them this morning as Pierre the Shy interrupted me last night when he kindly picked me up for our regular Saturday night game
I noted that he waited till I had finished his Scots

Given the result of last nights game perhaps it would have been more productive to let you stay at home and finish them all last night

The Renown didn't go the way of the Hood so I was well please with my evening

Got the tack done this afternoon

Pierre the Shy's & my order from Leven Minatures has arrived

Very thoroughly packed and well cast Wendy houses

Now I need to decide if I base them and if so on what size bases

A least one, the forge, comes as two seperate pieces and having them on bases will lift them so they are closer in height to the troops

All the buildings have quite small foot prints, all but the manor will fit on 50x50 bases

I'll be using them for For King and Parliament on a 15cm grid, forum members - your thoughts

[paulr]

Weapons base coated on current batch

Started adding individual details, hat bands, sashes etc

[Steve J]

I leave my Leven buildings free standing, so that they can be moved around to make way for troops in games such as BKCIIetc. For games such as Bloody Big Battles, where they sit on a base showing the BUA, they can then be moved aside as required. Hope this helps?

[Terry37]

In HOTT and DBN we leave the buildings unattached for the same reason Steve J says - to allow troops to fit in the space. The only buildings we secure to a base are those for Strongholds because no troops ever occupy them - take it and the game is over.
