Got a few more ships to get done after visiting Burton on Trent

The visit to Spirit Games was too tempting then

and all Rob's stuff to sort out.

That will keep you busy for a while, at least 5 armies there

I will be thinking of Rob next weekend, last time I saw him he encouraged me to do something to mark the 200^th anniversary of Waterloo...

Roy suggested we should do a Napoleonic V&B game to mark the anniversary so I have come up with a Wavre scenario.

My Russians will be standing for the Prussians, what is a P between friends

Figures now on the painting rods waiting for it to warm up enough to undercoat

Warmed up nicely, got to 17 not bad for a week or so before the shortest day

So undercoat done, will hopefully get the base colour done on the horses tonight

Only spent forty quid, could have been a lot more 

I'll get some waterloo memorabilia on the way through Belgium.

off go see Bath this afternoon...much to Mrs Shy's delight.

Base colour on horses done

Good to see you are keeping in the good books Peter 

Horses dry brushed last night

Horses finished

Base coated green jackets and red coats

After a year painting various browns, with only a brigade of NC Militia to add variety, it is invigorating to be painting bold colours again 

I'm also looking forward to all the detail on these uniforms, much more interesting than the more functional uniforms of 1914-18

No painting last night

Busy double checking the scenario and cutting out temporary labels for Wavre on Saturday
My Russians will stand in for the Prussians and my Westphalians and Poles will stand in for the French

Highlighted the green and red
Painted musket stocks and Light dragoons' trousers

Also been busy sorting out all the stand ins for the Wavre game tomorrow and blue-tacking temporary labels on them

One of the books I got is about the Battle of Halen.... the German 4th Cavalry Division's first action (prior to Nery) which was mainly against the Belgian Cavalry Division.

Looks like Belgian uniforms aren't too drab in 1914...and  lots of stuff available in 10mm.....hmmm

I hope for your sake that Mrs Shy doesn't read that

Painted infantry small clothes and most of the dragoons equipment

Got distracted by writing an AWI naval AAR http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,11957.msg168861.html#msg168861 and making some more tweaks to the rules.

Painted two thirds of the trousers, those with Deck Tan trousers left to do

Painted knapsacks

Fought a very tense and enjoyable Battle of Wavre, AAR to follow

Painted remaining third's trousers, all musket slings and base coated all flesh

Too cold again for painting last night, started work on the Wavre AAR

Continued work on Wavre AAR, for some reason this ones not flowing I better hurry up as we are refighting it again tonight

Did the hair on the current batch and the brass on the 17^th Light Dragoons helmets
Cut and preped the bases for this batch and got the first side painted this morning

Black Grey hats, boots, cartridge cases and scabards next, for some reason this always seems to be a big hurdle for me
