Only 100 years late 

ahha.....but I never said which Christmas 

Made some progress; packs, haversacks, rifle slings

I found an online copy of the history of the Cheshire Regiment in WW1 with maps and all of Elouges action so working on that too now that Nery is pretty well finalised.  

I have a fair bit of other stuff on Elouges including the British official history but Cheshires book is really detailed.

Tough ask for the BEF this time  - a brigade against an German Infantry Division plus lots of supporting artillery.

So another outing for the chaps against the odds, including the MG carts currently being finished off by Paul  

Boots and Webbing painted 

Have been preparing bases this morning 

Skin, hair and touch ups left to do before wash

Bases progressing

Do I do some more AWI or start my 1917 ITLSU next

No.....Post some more zippy photo's. 
Cheers - Phil.

Techno is spot on the money as per.

Skin, hair and touch ups done 

Should get the wash done tonight before a birthday party

Will print labels today for bases

Figures washed last night 

Labels printed yesterday 

Realising I was one base short 

Fortunately had a few spares cut out so sanded and painted one side before work this morning.

Should finish painting it tonight or tomorrow before work so should be ready for basing over the weekend with the rest 

Missing base painted up last night and magnetic vinyl glued on before work this morning

Touch ups where wash ponded on caps done

Need to do final dry brush and  paint figure bases green then ready to base over the weekend

You need to be careful of these touch-ups. To quote Bluebottle, "Harm could come to a young lad like that!"

Final dry brush and green on figure bases done 

Also cut out the labels for the bases ready for gluing on tonight

Labels glued to bases 

I also did a count up

Painted
441 Infantry, Dismounted cavalry & gunners
156 Cavalry & limber horses
13 Guns, limbers & carts
610 Total

Only basing and varnishing to do and project, including top up, done 

Most of the basing done, limbers and carts to add once bases have dried overnight 

Tomorrow's forecast is for Northerlies strengthening so varnishing may be delayed
