Look forward to seeing those progress. :)

I've got some of those little camp fires, they paint up a treat.
Look forward to seeing the finished project ;)
Looks terrific.
Look superb!
Suggestion: Mother Courage pulling a handcart? That'll say 30YW loud and clear.
Here is early work on Protestant troops which go with the camps...

I am actually going to add a cart & horse to the one camp. Or do a camp which is more a baggage train. Not sure yet.
An old woman rather than a horse. You'll gain lots of cred with literate viewers.
OK. Cite me a Pendraken figure and I'll tack it on my next 'hit'. :-\
One of the female beggars, perhaps? And there's a female in a bonnet (I use that one as a Boer civilian). I'm sure Leon can advise.
Those troops are looking jolly spiffy ! :-bd

Looking good, the camps are an interesting concept, I never bother much with details like that but when you see what you have done I can see the benefits of doing it.
Looking good
Lovely job :-bd
Hello,
Excellent painting job, I like it

I just couldn't do the bare template anymore. :o
I was going to post a progress pic, but then the washing machine started leaking. :'(
Bad luck.
Here is tonight's work. Not done yet; still need some washes and detailing.

Wonderful how it all comes to life. :)
Wow!! really looks the part :-bd
I like it!
Nice

That looks terrific.
Great job !

You could add some minis in there, like command minis, or civilians.
This is cool.

I got peasants in the same order, but not enough. They went into a unit of 'angry farmers' that got involved in the war. I may add a pack of foot command to my next 'hit' and put a few of those out.
Thanks for all the kind words! Looking for more thoughts of additions. 8)
I'm already planning #3, and #1 isn't done yet. ;)
You might consider a socket into which you could pop whatever standard was appropriate to the army encamped there. A dog or two might also look good.
Just my three thalers' worth.
nice stuff, really like the fires, they seem to glow in the photo. :-bd
Three Thalers? That's a month's pay!
Seriously, though, there's nothing like a well-executed camp to enliven a battlefield. 8)
Have you seen the way some of those TYW characters dress - now that is camp.

Hmmm, an execution scene would also add a certain
je ne sais quoi.
Yes, I realised what I'd done as soon as I hit the "post" button. :(
