With the arrival of a good sized parcel of Great War miniatures last week, I have been frantically working through the Crimean War figures this week.
While I have made quite good progress, with 36 Russians and 6 line infantry figures completed, only one unit has been completed and based up - a battalion of the Rifle Brigade.
And what a way to come home from work on my birthday to find a parcel of Perry Miniatures Carlist Wars figures on the doorstep! This parcel included enough to make two more infantry battalions and included a pack of priests and monks that will fill out the ranks of the Carlist units very nicely.
With another order for Russian infantry, cavalry and artillery placed - another 86 figures and two guns - the lead mountain is building again. The end of this month should see quite a few more units marching off the painting table.
Nice. And always great to have a box of goodies show up on your birthday!
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is!

ReplyDeleteThanks Rodger.
DeleteNice riflemen! A day with a box of lead on the doorstep is a fine day, for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan, rifkes are alwYs good to have in an army, but in truth they are rather dull to paint!
DeleteVery nicely done, the picture is impressive!

DeleteNice work, they certainly look the part!
