I thought it was Fear

I don't mind cavalry, but need to remember to do them in small batches

Guess I'm lucky as I'm pretty crap at figure painting to have the services of Paul R who is an really good painter. He has very generously slotted in various batches of 10mm WW 1 and W3K figures of mine into his painting queue over the last few years in return for assistance towards his next project.

I have painted a few 10mm wagon and draft horses myself and found that yes you have to apply yourself to get even small batches of them completed, but I can paint and base 20 odd bases of sheep and cattle in a few days without apparent effort.

I admit to being prone to "Look shiny stuff" moments, though I have been concentating on our W3K stuff lately, I have a few editorial deadlines to meet by the end of the year....  

   

Yes, I  admire Paul's continued devotion to detail. Manys a project I've started painting socks and belt buckles and doing washes and highlights, but by a few bases in I'm usually just blocking in the major colours and figuring it looks grand from a distance. 

I don't always do belt buckles in 10mm and only do obvious socks

I did paint the edges of the pages of the book carried by a couple of British civilians this morning

Devotion!

How do you know it was a prayer book ?

He didn't actually say prayer book but the cover did read "Book of Common Prayer"
