Done another couple of touch up colours 

Cut out labels and flags

Another classic early morning mis-read.

For a split second I wondered why you were cutting out "Tables and flags !"   
Cheers - Phil. 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Me too Phil!

'New' batch washed last night

Started work on some swamp areas for Camden, planning on using sand to mark the edge of the swamps and a some swampy ponds to show it is swamp

Also did a bit more tweaking on the scenario

[paulr]

'New' batch had final dry brush and figure bases painted

A marathon basing session scheduled for tomorrow

Almost finished the Camden scenario, will send to Peter to review once I have done another proof read

Swampy ponds finished

Sorted out stands for Camden, I really will have enough when I have finished these 5 Militia stands
There are a few odd stand ins but nothing too bad. The worst is Regiment von Bose standing in for the Volunteers of Ireland, at least they're both foreign 

[paulr]

Had a check of what is left to do on this project and it looks like only two batches of figures left to do plus more buildings and a couple of wagons

As well as basing tomorrow I hope to get another batch ready to prime:

• 2 extra American Rifle detachments
• 4 detachments of British Converged Light infantry
• 3 stands of North Carolina Volunteers (Loyalist Militia)

Forecast for the next ten days is rain and/or gales  

Over 16,000 views

[paulr]

Nearly forgot I have 30 Native Americans that I will paint up as Cherokee and Catawbas

[paulr]

Basic basing done
Will look at touching them up tomorrow, once properly dry

On to prep'ing the next batch

[paulr]

Bases touched up and flags prep'ed

Sorting next batch onto painting rods

[paulr]

Next batch undercoated

With rain and/or strong winds forecast for at least the next 10 days I shortened my normally drying times and took advantage of an unexpected lull to varnish the last batch
