Shields added to two older B& B characters.
10mm Napoleonic Cuirassiers for my Austrians done, just need varnish and basing. Latest batch of 6mm Napoleonic Russians assembled and undercoated along with 3 Burrows and Badgers characters. Dunstalking Hall built and base coated.

First part of the basing done and now waiting for the filler to dry before I apply pva glue and grit. Shouldn't be long given that it is a lovely, sunny and warm day here.

Steve J

Dismounted cavalry and sundry items primed and first part of base painting completed. A tad overcast here but hope they dry in time for some evening painting.

Steve J

Light cavalry unit has had base cloours applied followed by a wash. Highlights and lacquer tomorrow. I do not like painting cavalry, even with my very simplistic approach!

Steve J

Light cavalry finished, but may do another highlight on the clothing, but will wait till evening when there is more consistent light to check. Next up the dismounted riders for two units, plus the horse holder stands to go with them.

You're certainly "on a roll" with the painting Steve.

The deadline of the Cotswold Wargaming Day a week on Sunday is rather focussing my mind Geoff!

One unit of dismounted cavalry base coated and washed this evening.

I'm now trying to figure out how I can access the kitchen today to paint when it is not being used for its intended purpose!

Steve J

Managed to find some time to finish of one unit of dismounted cavalry :) .

Steve J

Another unit of dismounted cavalry base coated and wash applied. Just awaiting the latter to dry before highlights and lacquer being applied.

John Cook

A picture would be much more interesting than this.

Steve J

Pictures will follow John, when I've finished painting all the units. Whether they look good is another matter entirely.

I enjoy following others progress

I also find posting my own progress a useful additional motivation

I'm with you Paul and it's one reason that I set up the original thread, not that it's really worked for me though!

Anyway, horse holder bases painted and a load of flocking done tonight. A productive day :) .

Artillery finished last night and 4 command stands this morning. Only the CO to go and then I have the bare bones of the force finished.

CO finished and remaining bases all flocked. So core force completed. One more cavalry unit would be nice if I can fit it in around other game prep and household duties...
