On The Desk Today

It's pouring with rain outside, I'm suffering from bunged up nose, runny eyes and throaty cough, so don't feel like doing anything excertive. Just thought I'd post a picture of my painting desk as it is this morning.
This holds two 54mm FLW regiments, one cavalry one infantry, a batch of based mounted commanders from the Great Wars Crimean range who will be the General Staff for my 28mm Grand Duchy of Humperstein army, a batch of Foundry ACW artillerymen in shirtsleeves who will end up as Engineers for same, and an assortment of civilians from various makes to act as politicians and bystanders. I haven't painted anything this small for years, so it will be interesting to see how I get on. I'm not a fan of 'black lining' (my hand shakes too much) and I prefer gloss finish. Pictures eventually.

  2. Thanks for the comment. I'm not sure about the rules. I'll probably take a mixture of Charge and Black Powder with a pinch of whatever else takes my fancy. That's the project for the long dark nights this winter.
    My full oparticipation in the FLW centenary looks a little up in the air at the moment. The extended family are planning a trip to France around that time. Dates not settled. I keep my fingers crossed though.

    1. Its too small to be otherwise. Unfortunately this is the tip of a large iceberg, and as you say, real life gets in the way. The table still looks much the same.
