Last bit sounds a bit chitty!

Current batch based

First coat done on edges of chits

Current batch:

• Flock touched up
• Flags added
• Flag edges done

Current batch of hedges varnished
If these are OK in the heat I'll varnish the current batch

Base coated the Bay horses of the next batch before it got too hot to paint

Varnish has dried fine on the hedges so current batch varnished

Not sure if there will be time for piccies tonight after the varnish dries...

You rotten tease ! 

Cheers - Phil

Me: I'll be out for awhile.

Wife: Where are you going?

Me: Out to varnish the hedges.

Need pics to prove that's what I was doing.

 

Stop it !

I've got to go and do supper.

Cheers - Phil

There wasn't time for piccies after the varnish dried, or last night after work as the sun was too low

I'm working from home today so hopefully if the cloud clears there will be time for piccies

Horses base coated on the next batch

Second coat done on edges and back of chits

Don't worry Techno there will be plenty more pictures coming, even if there are only a couple(?) more batches to complete for the Cheriton game at Easter......

I've got "a few" more Scots units for Paul to paint up eventually, if he hasn't got sick of painting pike and musket units by now 

looking forward to Easter.....we might be going to stay with my in-laws who live close to Kapiti College where Natcon is being held this year as other wise its about an hours drive from Wellington each day. Easter traffic is normally complete madness going up to the Kapiti coast.       

Doing the terrain for Cheriton will give me a bit of a break then I will crack on with some Scots

I've made a good start on the hedges and our regular Saturday host, Roy, has done a great job painting my buildings

I've roughed out the map for the ridges so need to finalise that, cut out some foam for under the base clothes and work out how many hedges I need
I know the current answer is more, just not sure how many more

Staying up in Kapiti does make a lot of sense, there is access to the hall to set up on the Thursday night 

I've glued labels on the first 100 extra chits I'm making for Cheriton
Only another 220 to go

Utterly outstanding!

Wow.
What will happen once you have the entire ECW on a 1:1 unit scale?

They look great

Take care

With over 1,000 foot I've probably got enough figures for two 500 men battalia at 1:1

Which will need to fit in a 100 meter grid box (although you might want to use two boxes) 
Your work continues to impress, Paul 

(Still need pics of the varnished hedges, however. I can't stall much longer!  )

Wonderful work once again .
