ITLSU 1914 Project

[paulr]

Have done the Hussar's jackets and trousers and everyone's boots 

Finally a break in the weather, it has reached 12 degrees (Celsius) with some sunny periods, just as forecast, ideal for varnishing.

By some strange coincidence I'm off sick from work today 

Varnish drying on first two batches 

[Hertsblue]

Keep forgetting it's the depths of winter over with you. Oh, and three words on the sickie front - lower back pain. No one can prove or disprove it. 

[paulr]

A standing desk is very good for lower back pain and makes it very obvious to all there is an issue.

Sickie  what are you suggesting 

[paulr]

Hussar cords and harnesses done

Weather looking promising for photography later today 

[paulr]

Rifles and leather equipment painted 

Weather cooperated, if anything a little too sunny for photography _{(no pleasing some people)}

So drum roll please... _{hoping they are worth the wait}

[Leman]

The brown and the green on the rear of the bases are a great improvement. The whole project looks really excellent.

[Hertsblue]

Great stuff, Paul. Love the piles of shell-cases. 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Really superb! 

[pierre the shy]

Told you they looked good. Even better in real sunlight (fairly rare in Wellington this time of year!!)

We'll be using them in a demo game on 15 - 16 August at Call to Arms, the local gaming clubs big bash for the year.

[Matt J]

Top Banana Paul, really like the look of these 

[paulr]

 

Thanks for the kind words, good thing Peter likes them 

[Steve J]

Great work .

[nikharwood]

Very nice - I've got a soft spot for British Cavalry 

[paulr]

Welcome back Nik

Good progress on the third batch; hair, flesh highlights and helmet covers left to do  

[paulr]

Well over 1,600 views 

Good progress today, third batch now 'painted', just needs some touch ups and wash 

Started work on some of the counters we will be using in the game; Mounted/Dismounted, No advance, No action, Retired, Routed,...

[paulr]

Touch ups finished, will wash the third batch this evening 

Glued all the counters I had printed out onto bases and had 13 bases left, must have counted wrong 

Then realised I hadn't printed any "Reserved Fire" counters, anyone want to hazard a guess how many I will do
