I'm really up for that tutorial now, before i get stuck in to more of the lads with my new brushes.

Well, you caught me, i made the pics out of focus on purpose to hide the mistakes!

You are too modest, Javier (or should we call you Gomez - like in the Addams Family?  ).
We have already seen good quality photos of your other units earlier on in this thread and I'm sure good quality images of these new photos would not disappoint.
[Although just to be on the safe side .... perhaps you should keep the camera battery charge low .... ]

Very nicely done indeed

Lovely work on those flags!

I filed the cuff flaps to make the Saxon cuffs



Well Worth a look (pun intended!)

Gosh! What a fantastic museum. Must go in the near future.

.. and so the pressure builds! This period is getting more and more alluring! A lot of great exhibits there. Is this the one in Gravelotte? Seeing it makes me slightly regret focusing on the SYW and Napoleonic sections in the Heer museum in Vienna (but perhaps an excuse to go back?) - but to be fair, I wasn't fully physically fit having to hobble round with a walking stick at the time ...... which brings me on to you Leman; hope you are feeling better soon. Regards.

Yes, it is the new one in Gravelotte, and well worth a visit!

Because of the writings and postings here I have started painting my FPW stuff. (The only problem is it's in 6mm Irregular blocks.)

Wow, what a great looking museum. One day a trip to the battlefields of France and Belgium is in order.

Great museum indeed, I think it was organized a 1870-1914 Congress there last year http://www.verdun-meuse.fr/images/pages/Programmecolloque1870.pdf

Ah Sub, what a coincidence. I am feeling a lot better thanks, so the antibiotics appear to be working. And I am just finishing another set of Irregular Prussian infantry blocks. The 10s are definitely going to end up doing duty with Field of Battle 2, for which I bought some specific cards a couple of years back. Want to use my figures in conjunction with some of the latest Esconografia buildings. Also have a starfort to paint up and man with big guns. Lets see if the Prusskies can take that. So then 6s will be 3-7 bases to a brigade/division and the 10s will be 4 bases to a battalion. Hoping to post a few more photos in the next couple of weeks.

I've heard great things on Field of Battle

I'll get a few buildings and have me a small scrap, maybe taking an important crossroads; something along those lines to break in my fellow gamers.
