Sent to the painting/radio table last evening by my wonderful wife (Yes, it's true!), I had a blissful 90 minutes or so, to work on the second batch of RSM Austrian cuirassiers. Nothing much to look at yet, but the nine horses are now drybrushed with dark blue, and I began undercoating the tunics with tan as part of the usual tw0-step process for white uniforms. And later, Sir Paul actually let us sleep for almost two hours straight last night before summoning everyone for a change of diaper and another round of feeding in the wee hours of the morning.
Here's a picture illustrating my (S-L-O-W) progress with the second company of Stollen's Leib (Grand Duchess Sonja's Own) Grenadiers. You can see I'm doing things a bit differently this time, altering the painting process to keep it interesting basically. This evening, I'll do the white gaiters and, if that goes reasonably quickly, and time allows, the red breeches. Still lots to do, but I like the way these fine fellows are shaping up along side the completed 1st company that's standing in formation just off camera, to the left here. Until tonight then!
