We are light on British cavalry but I am sure there will be some added in time. <BR/><BR/>For infantry I have 2+1 British (Highlanders, 27th Inniskilling and the Jersey Blues), with three Prussian, three French and two Austrian. Most of the infantry units are at 60 figures two are at 48 figures.<BR/><BR/>Plus one French cavalry (36 figures) and one Prussian cavalry (24 figures). <BR/><BR/>Best, Randy<BR/>The Blog is looking good Jim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-56385102283837103592007-11-28T18:28:00.000-06:002007-11-28T18:28:00.000-06:00British?

Actually, I don't mind painting the stocks, it is the gun barrel that befuddles me for some reason.<BR/><BR/>Other bits of wasted painted items include gaitor buttons, belt buckles with brass, and sometimes the sword knots. Few would notice if I didn't include them, but then I WOULD KNOW and that would bug the heck out of me.<BR/><BR/>Minden Austrians: ulp! I knew that there was a reason for my delay in painting Austrians. I may have to hold off until your Austrians become available. My guess is that it may be awhile though.Der Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-63882857000454579942007-11-28T17:27:00.000-06:002007-11-28T17:27:00.000-06:00Not a fan of muskets myself, although painting mou...Not a fan of muskets myself, although painting moustaches is a breeze; when you are using a black undercoat, you simply neglect to paint the top lip.<BR/><BR/>A quick gray highlight and, like lightning, you have a veteran musketeer.<BR/><BR/>He must be a veteran, count his gray hairs, inspect that salt-and-pepper moustache...Bloggeratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501347647235993401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-75646356997477061822007-11-28T17:20:00.000-06:002007-11-28T17:20:00.000-06:00I will be eventually...GregI will be eventually...<BR/><BR/>GregBloggeratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501347647235993401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-64626179345308707752007-11-28T13:23:00.000-06:002007-11-28T13:23:00.000-06:00Guys,Does anyone paint the British?TheoGuys,<BR/><BR/>Does anyone paint the British?<BR/><BR/>TheoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-49133412207292916572007-11-28T06:53:00.000-06:002007-11-28T06:53:00.000-06:00Funnily enough, I am like Jim on this one and don'...Funnily enough, I am like Jim on this one and don't like painting muskets either. it's because I use the Foundry 3 paint system ansd it seems I am painting woodgrain on something that nobody really notices anyway, plus the brass butt end etc. It seems to take ages and for little visual reward, although I can't stop myself doing it.<BR/><BR/>By the way Jim, you do know that Austrians are the next army Richard is sculpting for me don't you? :-)))<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>FrankFrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06374706097599953143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-70646740238605995442007-11-28T06:38:00.000-06:002007-11-28T06:38:00.000-06:00Personally I hate painting mustaches.
