What's on your workbench?

Top stuff Tim !

[World2dave]

Which is better, good cavalry with poo flags, or poo cavalry with great flags EB?

I should have thought this through...............

More of a follow through perhaps?

PS. great painting Tim.

Thanks Gents, I'm calling it done now. I've nearly got rid of the Prussian Naps so many times but I'm hoping one day I'll be glad I held on. A very slow burn project!

I’m refurbing a collection of SSM ACW figure (and wondering about finding the literally hundreds of these unpainted in the loft).

The big surprise with the “new” figures (which are mostly plastics) were the 15-20 metal mounted figures, mainly officers, which turn out to be by SAE.

Nice one. Tim H will be green.

Not particularly. I shall be calling the shiny ACW collection completed once I have done the handful of cavalry and command figures. And for now I'm up to my armpits in Union troops to complete the main collection, adding two regiments to the Irish brigade, and raising a new brigade of three 30 figure units, (2x20 figure units have already been done), then three new batteries of artillery and a handful of command figures, and then I'm calling that done. I will have enough then to field a Corps size force for each side, with all their artillery and a cavalry brigade. That's more than enough. That will be a 20 year project finally done.

Could this be the first time a wargamer has actually uttered these words?

(As opposed to his better half telling him he's done!)

I think many wargamers have uttered these words over the years, and mostly they are just kidding themselves.

I would never give such a hostage to fortune as to suggest a project was finished... although some might be challenging to pick up, like the 15mm Mongols from Pass o the North that are no longer made, and I had to get the last dregs from the manufacturer plus figure donations from other gamers to get to anything like done

[Ilkley Old School]

Latest classic Napoleonic unit. Prussian Silesian Landwehr. The flag is made from the thin metal foil from a bottle of wine.

[Count Belisarius]

Excellent! Very pretty.

You need more flags though. And therefore more wine...

Great stuff. I am not always a huge fan of Shiny, but those really work well.
