Back into the Painting

Well the Singapore trip is well and truly over. The hot and steamy 33-35 degree (Celsius) temperatures have been replaced by the cold, wet and wind of the first winter storm in Auckland.

 

I am back into the painting for the great Crimean War game. First off the blocks are some Wargames Foundry Chasseurs d’Afrique to fix up an error in ordering I made back in January. Now instead of one regiment, there are two.





Second is another Foundry unit – and also an error. I had intended to order a Don Cossack Battery, but selected the wrong code and got line artillery instead! The Cossack battery is re-ordered.





Also on the painting table is a regiment of freshly arrived French Crimean War infantry and a couple of British batteries, all from great War, but more on them later.

    1. Thanks Phil. I am about half way through the first French Line infantry battalion and they are looking very nice. They should be on the blog by Sunday.

    1. Thanks Jonathan. The only complaint I had was that the gun wheels were a bit small, otherwise the gun crew in particular have lots of character
