Today I did canteens and other packs… More fun as included gloves and doing some minor repairs to the existing paintwork.
It is coming faster than I expected BTW.
Enjoy!

Quite effective (and boring) session today… doing dark blue saddle accoutrements on the horses… tedious yes… but nearly there… LOL
Seriously what I can notstand is SUPERGLUE in my fingers… now I use the same gloves as in pandemic times.
Enjoy!
PS: Keeping yellow colour for the last touchs!

Well, yes I could do the faces (not yet finished of course… it lacks eyebrows, eyes and mouth + sole moustaches and full beards…). So for those who expected Buffalo Soldiers it is not the case that was the primer colour all over.
Coming up slow but sure.
Would be fun to paint the non regulation scarves in differet colours.
And yellow stripes on breeches blue only for NCO’s and Officers.
As I have said horses would be the last.
Enjoy!

Maybe tomorrow will start the faces.

Keep doing things and adding colours.
Rythm well established.
Guess small parts are faster to paint!
Keep watching this space (LOL).

Union 6MM Cavalry (and other units on the pics).

On the Baccus Forum we had a lively discussion or debate about the basing of ACW Cavalry.
After reading books about Brandy Station, Trevilian Station and others… I concluded that I needed more variety than the standard 60x30MM base (one brigade) of many stablished popular rules.
Here are the results.
Of course I will do my own thing as usual!
Enjoy!

Having some order at last.
Now it will be more fun as details are less and less cumbersome… will let the horses colours for the end I guess.
It is useful to hold on the horse to paint the soldiers…
Enjoy!

On the last parcel there were the much needed guns and sailors for the Gunboat.
The company of Highlanders on board come as an afterthought!
Enjoy!
Omdurman has now all the troops in 6MM needed to do the wargame my way.

As usual I keep been doing other things at the same time… mainly polishing details on 6MM minis, and priming 54MM mounted Officers.
HM Queen Elizabeth II is there so to help in the future insignia to be painted in King Charles III, the others are a British Guards Officer with binoculars and Churchill as an Officer of the 4th Hussars 1890’s…
And YES this small one is a 42MM… the only one in my collection!
Enjoy!
That’s what I am doing nowadays. The Second US Cavalry as portrayed in SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON. (II), and some distractions on the side…

I had a set of Guardsmen from REPLICA and decided to assemble them after a crisis (I nearly sent them away to be painted!)… then on reflection I thought better paint myself… long winter months ahead (if there is a winter).
Enjoy!
