I haven't managed to make any progress on this project over the last few days, too many domestic chores to catch up on

Last night I did manage to join in a division level ITLSU game the guys had started while I was away

Hopefully some painting today, but I wouldn't bet on it  

I managed to get the base colour on the hedges and most of the buildings 

I felt really good to have a brush in hand after over a month of no painting

I made little progress on these buildings over the last week, first week back at work after a month off has been a little draining

Made much better progress on Saturday, buildings almost finished

Shrubbery and fences to finish painting then time to flock...

Had a look at the WWI figures Pierre the Shy dropped off in August and worked out what needs doing
Basically a batch of Germans and a half batch of British. I will combine the British with my outstanding AWI as that will make a 'batch'

Shrubbery and fences painted

Will hopefully start on the flocking tomorrow night

Cleaned up and washed the two supply wagons (plus three spare Militia to make these mini-dioramas) and the 32 Native Americans, ready to go on painting rods
Also glued rear wheels on wagons and front wheels on axles

This half batch will go nicely with the half batch of WWI British and Indian artillery crew and mules I am painting for Pierre the Shy 

Got the bare ground areas flocked last night
Will flock the grass areas tonight and put the new batch on painting rods

I also need to decide how to base up my remaining buildings

Grass areas flocked last night

New batch sorted and on painting rods last night after work
Weather was good enough to undercoat them as well

Touched up flocking this morning

Weather held so buildings varnished as well

Will hopefully get to take some pictures before the forecast front arrives this evening.

Pictures of the buildings I have just finished...

Guilford Courthouse





Hoskins Farm





Two smaller clusters of outbuildings

Looking good!
Like the hedges too; sturdy and 'maintenance free' unlike some of the flocked stuff I use myself that tends to attract dust!

Cheers,
Rob

Very nice work, Paul. 

Cheers - Phil

Cowpens in January & Guilford Courthouse in March, marking the 235^th anniversaries

All the base colours done and the main dry brushing as well

Manes & tails done on horses Wagons, loads and cover done, details to add

Did quite a bit of juggling with the map for Guilford Couthouse, with some twisting and sliding it does fit on an 8x6 table

One thing I learnt from the Camden game was the need to make sure there was enough room to deploy all the troops. The map has every stand of troops shown so I am sure there will be room, just

Looks remarkably like the terrain I was playing with last Wednesday, when I commanded a New Hampshire brigade.
