Yes I need a change. I have avoided purchasing from overseas in part because of the problem of supply and in part because of uncertainty of employment. All this means that I haven’t ordered any figures since February and have been working on what was intended to be the emergency fall back - the ACW plastics. Although employment is still uncertain snd the supply issue remains...it is time for an order!
The jury is still out on the single bases. I guess it will take a game to prove the point.
I usually try to have a few odd bits and bobs from other projects lying about just to get a bit of variety, but its been nothing but ACW since March...don’t get me wrong ACW was my first love, but I long to paint some red, yellow or green...before the paints dry in their pots!
But then again you as talking so someone who painted 48 battalions of Crimean infantry in a little over six months...but at least with that project there was a bit more colour variation.
I think it is real enough, although I recently purchased another 32 Gauls for the Gallic army I completed early last year. That really only makes them more complete, in my mind.
Good looking result! Better to switch gears and paint something else if you are feeling a little fatigue. I like your single element BMUs.

Nice job Mark, great looking unit!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil.
DeleteGood looking troops. Changing gears (periods) usually helps me stay interested. It is supposed to be a hobby, after all. :-0

DeleteAnother nice addition to the ACW collection Mark
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith...the end is in sight.
DeleteFatigue after 11 units... I hit the wall around 3 units.
ReplyDeleteThose are great Mark, a nice mix of uniform and colourings.
Cheers

DeleteAnother great addition, and there will be nothing like the feeling of satisfaction once you are complete.
ReplyDeleteComplete...is that a real or fake word?

DeleteNicely done Mark...
ReplyDeleteYou have certainly raced this project... how soon will you be having a game?
All the best. Aly
