Leib Garde & Light Dragoons

Not done a great deal recently apart from chill out and watch DVDs (Wild Geese, Magnificent Seven,  In Search of the Dark Ages...), mainly because my angiogram found a magnificent 95-99% blockage! So the wife has wrapped me in cotton wool until I get a stent fitted on Monday. Or two, as another artery is at 75%. I rarely do things by halves. Does explain an awful lot of the health problems I’ve been having this year, but it means I have to put up with my crappy knee for a while longer.

Anyway, my painting therapy (much nicer than Glyceryl spray) has resulted in this:

I’ve also managed to make progress on updating the Warrior British Light Dragoons:

John sent me the updated Heavies today and they have come out rather well; worth all the aggravation they caused me. Thankfully the Lights have been a lot easier because I don’t want anything winding me up at the moment!

Württemberg IR#1 Prinz Paul: finished!

Killing two birds with one stone, here are the completed Wurttembergers showing how the bases look after a good coat of Tamiya yellow green:

Just to add a bit of interest to my French corps formations, I include a unit from one of the smaller client states. I will limit myself to three corps (each of 4 x infantry, 1 x light cavalry, 1 x artillery and 3 x skirmishers), but will be able to represent different formations just by swapping out the allies. 1st Corps is entirely French, though, because I didn’t come up with this idea until last month.... 🙄

Swiss or Nassau up next!

More French Cavalry

Right lads! Now we’re all glossy it’s off to base camp!

Now I have a full box of painted figures it’s time for basing. Not such an onerous task now I just glue on some scatter and plaster it with Tamiya Yellow Green.
