A change of pace today and a change of project, the First Carlist War stuff put to one side and the old Garrison SYW miniatures out on the table. I purchased a load of Garrison SYW figures from Count Belisarius from the Fife & Drum forum, an absolute pile of old school goodness!!
I primed a couple of fusilier battalions and some grenadiers that will form part of a converged one. I probably have enough for another fusilier, the rest of the grenadiers and three or four musketeer ones, This will form the basis of an imagi-nation project that will include some Minifigs and Hinchliffe miniatures. I got a couple of hussars in this pile of goodies but hopefully I can track down enough for a squadron of them, simple little sculpts but they will look great even with my painting skills!!
Talking of painting, these will be blocked and nothing else then a couple of coats of gloss varnish to add to the old school feel!
I should get back to some more work on them tomorrow, I have primed and added the flesh to faces and hands, some coats done tomorrow I think! When I have some done I will try and get some pictures off them, my picture taking skills are of a very low standard I'm afraid!!
