That's another box done!

With John's box of figures now completely painted it's time for my weekly Sunday tidy up and planning for the week ahead. So having sorted out the next box and got everything organised into the desk drawers - figures and printed reference sheets/notes/ box art etc - I check through the paints and make a note of any that are getting low for which I don't have replacements, (what you see are just my most commonly used colours, I have about 100 unopened spares together in a drawer below). 

This week I'm going to be painting Peter Pigs for Graham. I have another ECW regiment of foot and 38 Confederate's. I do enjoy flipping between scales and periods like this as it keeps things fresh. When I get to start John's latest box I'll be starting with the lovely Ral Partha winged hussars that you see below, the horses are especially good sculpts.

Meantime I continue to keep an open mind and one eye out for something a bit different to do for myself on the side

    1. Great animation and sculpting skill, for example the mane is wonderfully flowing!

  2. The winged hussar looks a lovely model with much potential.

    1. Yes Norm, I think they should turn out rather well, such nice figures.

  3. Lee - smashing painting, Lee, as ever! Quick question, if you will...

    In your 4th photo I recognise that the trumpeter is an Irregular chap mounted on a Higgins horse - what is the officer figure? I know it's a Higgins horse, but don't know the rider - any ideas?

    1. Hi There Tony, always a pleasure to hear from you :) My notes from John tells me: 6 dismounted troopers, 1 horse holder, 1 mounted bugler by Irregular. 1 mounted trooper, 3 horses by Les Higgins. You probably spotted the printed painting reference sheet pinched from your blog :)
