While he has been hard at work on the houses, I've been finishing off two French battalions for Hougoumont, a company of Coldstream Guards, some Hanoverian jagers and various other figures.
Meanwhile Thomas Mischak has sent in some very useful walls which are shown in the pictures above where they are being used to delineate the Plancenoiut gardens. In addition, Thomas's gravestones are fantastic as are a few road signs - Many thanks Thomas!
In other news, I have two new painters, one taking on the 12th Light Dragoons and another Sandham's For Battery.

This Plancenoit is coming along beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThanks James, I seem to be able to comment again!
