Busy but no painting!!!

 Well as the title says, I have been busy when real life doesn't intrude with hobby time!  The varnish and rebasing continues on the "old school" ECW project and I am over half way through and will get a few more bits and pieces done this weekend, I managed to get some units done every day this week due to being on holiday although the decoration of the kitchen has taken precedence! I have enjoyed this project and it is well ahead of schedule and will be finished well before the year end.

My purchases of Stephen Summerfield books continues and I have added the Prussian Frei Infantry one, which is a good one, and then I got this beauty,

If you have any interest in the Hanoverian army of the SYW then this book is a must, not the cheapest but well worth the money, it's a seriously good book. This leads me on nicely to what else I have been up to.

I have purchased several units of infantry, horse and dragoons from Tony Joseph, who is an expat living in Spain, he is downsizing his collection and selling up all his Minden figures and going down the 15/18mm route, this has allowed me to buy 8 infantry, 4 horse and 2 dragoon units from him, all lovely painted and based and ready to do battle.

This gives you an idea of the standard of the units I have purchased, really happy with them and they will go well with the units I already have finished, gives me a decent Hanoverian army and added to the British I have finished or on the go should look great on the table. I have a fair Saxon army finished and more still to do, I am adding some French to them and at the end will have two well matched armies for some Western actions of the SYW.

Well the holidays have come to an end and I have to be in today for the morning, ease me back gently and will get my desk ready for Monday morning, bit more varnishing on the cards for tomorrow, so until the next time.......
