Great to see you have got back to this

I went for the 5th Virginia in the end, but there is a strong case for either number ;)

Yes it's a minefield. Most accounts just say 4th and 5th VA. The British Grenadier scenario says 1st and 5th. Babits (who I normally trust) says that is the 1st and 2nd and that other references to 4/5 are erroneous though frustratingly he doesn't give his source. The GC national park service say  1st and 2nd but that they are state line troops not continentals !  Not that any of it matters but of course but even so , I think all troop deployments in war zones really need to consider the needs of future Wargamers.

I love how sharp your black lining is and your highlights, really makes the details pop. How long do you take to paint figures in general?

That's some of the cleanest/neatest painting I've ever seen.....even at the one true scale.
Genuinely impressed...I mean that.

Only drawback is that I hate you.....'cos the pic is about 10 times sharper than the photos I send that nice Mr Leon.

Take a bow, GM.

Cheers Phil. :)

Great work, indeed! The detail is very good with clean lines. I'm also currently painting Pendraken AWI figures and wish I had your skill and speed. I really like the way you've done the hunting shirts. I compared my own officer with yours and I'm quite chuffed to say my own effort looks as if it could stand alongside yours. But it has to be said my officer got extra special attention (my rank and file are probably not as good). I like the colour you used for the breeches - what colour was that? Going by the sources I've looked at, I would probably have chosen a darker blue for the coats (in fact, I did) - also, I'm not sure, but going by the thickness of their legs below the knee, it looks as if the loading figures may have half-gaiters so you might want to look at these again. Overall; superb (do you take commissions?). Expecting you to enter the Painting Competition. 

@Phil (Techno): make your next mobile phone a Samsung - cracking camera.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
