Y es, you read that right. All 60+ figures comprising the three companies (a Charge-sized line regiment) of the fictitious second battalion of the Anhalt-Zerbst Regiment have been affixed to their permanent bases. The dimensions are those suggested for 25mm units of line infantry within In the Grand Manner . I fudge things a bit by basing my musicians and a few third rank corporals individually. Look carefully and you'll spot them in these two photographs shot just a few minutes ago on the morning of June 1st. About nine months (!!!) after I started them. But no time to dilly-dally admiring my own brushwork. I've got a large, heavy box of Minden Austrian hussars over on the painting desk just out of frame to the right, and it's time to open and organize the first batch of 14 or 15 and glue the sword arms in place before the usual base coat of white acrylic gesso. Onward and upward, eh? -- Stokes
