Last week Victoria and I took a short vacation, glamping in Shropshire just outside Shrewsbury. I had prepared another batch of Perry Miniatures Plastic Napoleonic British Line Infantry beforehand to work on while we were away.
I had made good progress on them before we even set off and eight were painted before we left. Over the course of ours days away I managed to sit in the sun drinking a selection of fine beers and ciders and get the other sixteen finished, doing the bases and varnishing over the weekend when we got back.
The standards are from Flags of War and are very nicely done.
I did a pair of bases of skirmishers, I probably have plenty enough, but they may come in useful.
Some shots of the individual bases.
While on our holidays I also started another battalion of Hanoverian Landwehr that this week I've made further good progress on, hoping to get those finished and blogged shortly.
Beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Norm
DeleteHoliday, painting, beer and sun, that’s a great combination and the figures look great, what’s not to like?
ReplyDeleteThank you, the only problem with painting in the sun is that it plays havoc with the paint thinning ;)
DeletePainting while on holiday! That brings back memories for me. They have turned out very nicely I think.
ReplyDeleteThank you David
DeleteLovely work!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michal
DeleteAnother excellent unit - painting toy soldiers whilst away on holiday - you must have a very accommodating partner, I am sure I would not get away with that!
ReplyDeleteThanks you, Victoria was just as keen as me to be loafing in the sun
DeleteYou are rocking these Hanoverian and KGL units Paul!
ReplyDeleteThank you Peter, I really should start on some Dutch-Belgians soon

DeleteSplendid stuff as usual Paul. Would that be classed as wild painting?๐
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, I think a few too many facilities for truly wild painting
DeleteAnother outstanding unit Paul.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray
DeleteSplendid stuff Paul…
ReplyDeleteAlthough my idea of glamping would be to just book into an hotel.๐
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly, this place costs about as much per night as a hotel.
DeleteGreat looking KGL Line, Scrivs!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dean
DeleteThey‘re looking wonderful Paul!
