So much of a chore than belts on figures - probably because there's so much more of it.<br />Having said that I do admire your work and applaud your efforts.marinergrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393687295535460527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-45502366043215181112014-08-09T15:41:32.077-05:002014-08-09T15:41:32.077-05:00I applaud your dedication - the final product will...I applaud your dedication - the final product will be worth the effort.<br /><br />MattMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751744958434403184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-33349427593392073382014-08-09T14:22:48.770-05:002014-08-09T14:22:48.770-05:00Keep at it Stokes.

Alan, I do indeed have a completed Minden blacksmith and helper vignette from two winters ago to go with the mobile forge, but I need to paint up a scratch-built table with several of his tools on it. There is also another on of a dismounted Prussian hussar holding his horse by the reins, which I'll include as part of the scene. Simon, there are 15 or 16 (or 17?) carts and wagons all together. They are taking a bit longer than planned, but it's a fun diversion from the usual straight infantry and cavalry. David, the start of he new academic year is driving me to keep going with this now. By mid-September, there will be even less time and inclination to sit down in the evenings during the week to do this. Sadly.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />StokesWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-46469469202816575262014-08-09T02:26:31.500-05:002014-08-09T02:26:31.500-05:00Stokes,
