Dixon Miniatures ACW Confederate infantry, the 10th Tennessee, with flags from Flags of War. Lord knows why as I've got more than enough already. I just really enjoy painting these figures...

It is an addiction!

Get all the brightly coloured paints out of your paintbox, you will need them all.

Most definitely... God they're a ball-ache... It's taken me all day yesterday and all day today to finish them - and there's only 8! Next in the queue are 12x Polish Chasseurs a Cheval and I'll probably finish those in a single day!

Is the rumour you are doing Napoleons armies at a 1 to 1 scale true?

Not if the bastards are all wearing Mameluke dress...

One can never have too many Good 'Ole Boys.

When I'm painting in work, all my 'current' projects sit on top of the biscuit tin that contains all my paints. However, sometimes I get bored halfway through or stick them together and undercoat them only for them then to sit there for months or even years until I hit critical mass. That happened last week and the top of my paint-tin can't possibly contain any more unpainted figures, so I've resolved to get them done! The Mamelukes were the first bunch to go (they'd been sat there for a year) and have now been joined by twelve Napoleonic Polish Chasseurs a Cheval. I've now got a battery of 10mm Confederate artillery on the go (four guns, twelve crew and four limbers) and will then have 28x 10mm Union infantry, four 15mm Cold War Canadian mortar teams and two TOW teams, then three 15mm Cold War Polish ATGM teams. Then and ONLY then will I be allowed to paint what I currently want to paint (which is to finish off my 15mm Napoleonic Polish corps).

Those polish ATGW teams will give the vistula legion some punch.

Bloody right.

An AT-4 will give them a certain 'edge' against the Chevalier-Garde...

How is it possible to only have enough paint that it fits into a single tin? Or so few projects being painted they can sit on top of the tin? Are you part of the Tiny House movement or something? Big fan of Marie Kondo?
