Yep. I don't have enough as I miscalculated. Expensive force to build in cash and painting time.

That looks very impressive - although a chap of my stature might actually bock an entire corridor...

That’s looking good, you had a productive Friday evening what with sorting me out :D
Although, word to the wise, that workbench doesn’t look too stable.

Being of an orderly turn of mind at the moment, I decided to have a closer look at my undercoating options before cracking on with various projects - testing out which delivers best finish for fastest time:

Front Rank English troops for 1745 - L to R: Halfords Black with a Halfords White overspray, Halfords White, Black Enamel wash.

The first one looks awfully crude in digital photography, the second a little bland when it comes to painting (a fourth option might be to undercoat white and use a Magic Wash to pick out the detail). The third is my favoured one at present, especially as with a little wire work the bare metal virtually paints itself, but sometimes the enamel doesn't always take the acrylic paint so well.
