Well, to be honest, now that the base colours for infantry uniforms & the flesh are done, it'll speed up from here...I think I'll probably now finish them off in this order:

- artillery
- commands
- cavalry
- infantry
- basing & finishing...

With a  bit of luck, some decent headway all through the next week...

Agree with others.

Looking very nice.

Can't wait to field them and see how well they perform against the Brits or Austrians my opponents have.
