Well the answer to the title of this blog post is way too smug!!!! Back in June I posted about where certain projects were and my Continental army for my AWI project was done all bar a squadron of dragoons, I even boasted the same on another blog, very smug with myself.......
Moving on to a couple of weeks ago found me looking for some British dragoons for my 1745 project, I knew they were lying in a box so it was time to wade through the lead mountain to find them. After a good root about I found the box I thought had them in, opened it up and found that they were not in that box but what was in it was a squadron of twelve 1st Continental dragoons, hurrah I don't have to buy them I already have them. So far so good, also in the box though were three primed and started sixteen man units consisting of one blue face red unit, one brown faced red unt and one mix of uniform and hunting shirt unit, also two more mounted officers that will make up another command base.
So basically my finished, or near finished, Continental army is far from done and will have another three units to complete plus the command base plus the dragoons!
Excuse the poor picture, still getting used to my new phone, it shows the blue faced red unit on the painting table, in the background are some Hanoverian artillery crews, some Hanoverian jaegers and a unit of GNW Swedes.
So that was a good lesson for me, is a project truly ever done, possibly but reminder to myself not to crow about it if it is!!
