[paulr]

Finished painting the current batch of 24 artillery crew, 48 infantry and 6 guns. 

Will base them over the weekend and hopefully get them varnished as well weather permitting

Painted
360 Infantry & gunners
35 Cavalry
43 Officers
6 Guns

444 Total

Next batch of 60 infantry sorted & prepared for washing

Will have to do a couple of batches of Americans after these to keep the forces balanced, they are the Guard!

The ones I'm about to paint won't,  they're British!

The ones in the Borodino refight were only French (running for cover)

Battle damaged flag inspired by Matt of Munslow, thanks for the advise. I use printed flags so I haven't worked out how to do quite as much damage as Matt can to his single sheet painted flags

wow lovely. This project is cracking on at a pace and looks wonderful!

[paulr]

Thanks All for the positive feedback 

I find this forum helpful as motivation, knowing  people are keen to see what I am painting. I am amazed I've had nearly 2,500 views 

Occasionally when I feel the need for a little more motivation I make a prediction,  such as "Will base them over the weekend and hopefully get them varnished as well weather permitting" to set myself a public target 

So thanks again for the inspiration, feedback & motivation

[paulr]

Unfortunately real life has got in the way of may painting & gaming this weekend 

My first AWI game has had to be postponed 

[Steve J]

I feel your pain Paul as this frequently happens to me .

[Hertsblue]

Yes, when I think of all the armies I could have had if the wife hadn't squandered all that money on food and rent.
