Just time for a quick update this morning. Painting continues, albeit s-l-o-w-l-y since I am teaching my usual May term course, which meets for three hours daily for four weeks. And that means lots of nightly reading and preparation with little free time left over for painting. Nevertheless, I have managed to fit in a little painting time here and there, so the middle batch of Huzzah Prussian musketeers is coming along. Look for a progress photo here later today.
Hessian musketeers by All the King's Men Toy Soldiers of Snellville, Georgia, U.S.A. Just a quick post post today, but I thought the above question might be interesting food for thought. Obviously, there is an array of possible periods, theaters, and conflicts that might catch our eyes. But what is it about the era 1700-1799 -- either real, or imagined? Is it the commanders and politics? The fairly straightforward tactics? The myriad of uniforms and flags? The variety and scope of the conflicts? The patchwork of various and sundry petty states, (at least in Central Europe)? I'm very interested to learn your thoughts. Don't be a lurker! Please leave a comment -- or even two or three. Have a nice day everyone!

Well, I for one am looking forward to seeing your photos of new troops.
Keep that paint brush moving, my friend.
