Paul’s AWI project

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

That's the stage I always look forwards to, in my mind it means they are nearly done!
It's also often when the figure goes from horrible to nicely starting to take shape

I agree about the impact on the figure and the 'nearly done', still for some reason it is a bit of a 'hump' for me

Black Grey done on 4 out of 6 painting rods, helped by doing two different reds on the 17^th Light Dragoons helmets
Will do the last 2 rods after lunch

A productive day once I got over the Black Grey hump

Hats, boots, cartridge cases and scabards all done 

Basalt Grey highlights done on cavalry boots and infantry hats. Musket barrels, swords and bayonet painted 

I managed to take some pictures of the last batch of my 1917 project before the sun went  Will post tomorrow

I even managed to finish my AAR on the Wavre game before playing it again in a couple of hours

Thanks, some interesting possibilities there

At gate at HK airport waiting for Air NZ flight home to Auckland....got a new carry on bag to hold the goodies we have acquired while away.
They should keep me happy for a while. Think Mrs Shy is glad to be heading home too.....we're more than ready to get home and see the kids 

Be interesting to see what Paul comes up with for this game, his AWI games are always good whichever side one plays
