Thanks for all the kind words. Saturday GM came over and we had a rehearsal game which involved too many empty bases to show here, but it did serve as a real motivator both in seeing the size of the task ahead and giving a taste of the game we'll be playing too. As a result, yesterday I got this unit of Morgan's Rifles finished and today I managed to get the two bases of artillery done that we were still short.

Only a couple of poor pics I'm afraid as I'm getting ready to base and will take much better pictures then.

Looking for my tips now are ye?  ;D ;D

They're either GW Regal blue with Vallejo Prussian Blue over the top, or VJ Dark Prussian blue and VJ Prussian Blue. There's a mix, but to be honest you can't tell the difference and I couldn't tell you which is which!

Really nice - I will have to delve into AWI one day - maybe your game at the birthday bash will be the catalyst! - No Pressure :)

Gav,

I envy you being able to produce such a good match with Andy Mac's work, I would love to be able to do that. Great work!

What they all said ^^  :D

Just terrific, man. You can compete with the very best 10mm painters around. And that battle must be sheer joy with such miniatures.

Cheers,

Excellent news, we've still got a few battalions to complete so if Andy can turn up early and get them sorted for us that will be great :)

Your forces are looking excellent now Gavin. I've finished painting all figures -  just got flags and basing to do now....

Yeah, Flags. :-\ :-\ Think I might print a few out at work today and dry fit them for the weekend as half these troops aren't mine of course so Matt can do his own stinking flags.

I've finished off a few things on my to do list this week or so.

One of them was the 10mm AWI unit I've been working on for a while. Pretty pleased and annoyed with these at the same time. Unfortunately, the castings are not great, these are the only useable sculpts from the bag of 30 + bag of 15 command. Many of the figures are missing parts of their hats, as you can see in the fourth picture (chap pointing - this is the "best" of the bad bunch!), and part of the drummers hat is missing too. This is why there are so many bareheaded soldiers in the unit.

Can you pop me an email through on that, and I can find out what's happened and get some replacements sorted out.
