Title: WSS British Cavalry
Post by: Orcs on 02 July 2017, 08:32:45 PM
Well I have finally finished painting my first unit of British WSS Cavalry. Not only do they take 4 times as long as the infantry I found it very hard work . While I am happy to put them on the table its no where near what some of you lot achieve.

My problem is to match the Infantry I have I probably need another 6 or so units.  Mrs Orcs came into my den  to see/ distract me while I was doing this, and the conversation went like this

Mrs Orcs .  "How are you getting on they look fiddley?"

Orcs : " Yes I hate painting cavalry they have taken me an age."

Mrs Orcs: " Well why do it then?"

Then without thinking I replied

Orcs: "Thats why I am sending the rest away for someone else to paint them" (OOPS I thought- but)

Mrs Orcs: "Good Idea then you can paint something you enjoy painting"

:-bd :-bd

So now when they arrive and Mrs Orcs raises her eyebrows at my purchase i can blame her for encouraging me  :) I think this is what you call a WIN WIN situation

Cost matters not an issue as separate bank accounts  :)
