Very, very good. Pictures look good, even from a phone.

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

Thanks for the comments! When painting hundreds of times the same figure over and over again to build these armies it's nice to be able to give your personal touch to your collection with an unique piece, and conversions at this scale are soooo easy to do! I encourage you!

Well I've just bought Bruce Weigle's 1870 rules as a reference book along with Howards' history of the war, so I can see myself succumbing at some point this year. Sadly my painting won't be as good :(.

You couldn't have picked a better place to start Steve. Even if you never buy a figure there is still so much to get into these days. when I started it was Michael Howard, They died for Glory, Les Gens Brave (the two period specific rule sets) and any odds and ends being run off on roneos by various enthusiasts. If you do get into the period the Continental Wars Society is well worth looking up. A goldmine of information and ideas at a very reasonable price.
