To begin with, Phil Olley has just added another update to the Broadside section of his War Cabinet website, featuring some lovely additions to his 18th century cavalry. Take a gander at: http://www.warcabinet.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/.
Second, after some oppressively warm and humid weather here in
And finally, here is a photograph of Freiherr Wilhelm’s Pioneers with their new shoulder belts and straps in place. Not much left to paint now, just a few things like the colonel’s horse and saddle cloth, the drum shell and hoops, and small metal bits, plus some of the inevitable black lining touch ups between the belts and straps! Grrrrrr. . .
If life cooperates, I hope to have these all finished by mid-week. Then, it’s on to another RSM general and his ADC, some work on the planned wargaming table, and a return to those long delayed Zvezda heavy cavalry conversions, which I want to finish (after almost two years) and paint before the weather begins to cool at the end of September. Charge!

They are looking very good. I presume that this is one of those units that did not have hat tape.
