Just in the process of painting up 20 strips of Irregular 6mm FPW Prussians. I decided to give the Andreas Hoffer method a try, but that has turned out to be a mistake. Putting on cuffs, collars, backpacks and rolled greatcoats before the tunic colour hasn't worked for me and has turned out very messy. A lot of retouching is going to be required, even though I am using WN Series 7 brushes these days. The lesson is: stick with what you know works best for you.

Quoting Flashman from memory: With that thinking, Ur of the Chaldees would be a dam' crowded place by now.
Never confuse your ambition with your ability is what they told me
Which, I suppose, is why I am back to 2Lt after precisely 48 years
