I have had the past week off work and found myself busy in the garden, an odd day out and some really good relaxation time, great stuff but a whole week off and a paint brush not lifted once!! I pored over blogs, read a couple of articles, skimmed through some books for some ideas for games etc but not one figure painted or even primed, just no enthusiasm and it really seems like a missed chance to get something done and off the table, very disappointing. I very rarely go through periods like this but can find no enthusiasm to pick up a brush and dab some paint on but hopefully this will pass and I can get on and get something completed.
Yesterday I got some miniatures on the table to see where I am at with a couple of different things.
A nine man squadron of French Hussars but destined to be something different. I have three different French Hussars so don't really need another one so these ones will be repurposed to another nation, not quite sure what one yet, possibly Prussian but may go with an Austrian Grenzer Hussar regiment, something a wee bit different, they won't be quite accurate but will do what I want them for and on the table should pass well enough.
A six man British Horse Grenadier squadron and some British Horse in the background, I also have some Dragoons to do as well, these cavalry figures will do for both my WAS and SYW projects.
A couple of Saxon Cuirassier squadrons and you can just see some Saxon infantry, there is three sixteen man ones to do. When done this will give me eight sixteen man regiments which will be enough. I need some more cavalry some Dragoons and maybe a squadron of Uhlans, then it will be som command stands to finish off.
So there you have it tonnes to do and plenty of figures to paint up all I need now is the enthusiasm to get myself into gear and crack on, back to work this week so maybe this weekend will be the time to reignite these projects, here's hoping!!
