Full Steam Ahead!

Finished the next five musketeers a little while ago before supper, the rearmost rank in the background of the photograph above, bringing the total of fully uniformed and kitted 6th (Luebecker Musketeers) Infantry to 26!

No time to rest on my laurels though!  With slightly less than a month to go until the January 16th painting challenge deadline, I've got just over half of this unit to paint.  So, I plowed ahead with the next ten figures after supper and K.P. duty, applying the second coat of white acrylic to the basecoat and then a wash of  green to the figures' bases.  Tomorrow, a glaze of fleshtone and black on the hats, shoes/gaiters, and cartridge pouches.

Hmm, you were painting 5, now you're tackling 10 at a time . . . I understand.

It is now "DOUBLE TIME, PAINT!"

Here's an RSM Painting Update

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!

Keepin' an Eye on the World Going By My Window . .

'The Nap at the Palace' by Jose Triado Mayol N ot much in the way of hobby-related activity happening here in the Grand Duchy lately.  Sigh.  And no surprise there really since there are only so many hours in the day, only so much mental and physical energy to spare, and you sometimes simply just have to give in and know when to say, um, "When!"  A glass of wine and/or evening yoga by the hearth with the Grand Duchess (who has practiced for over 20 years), and then off into la-la land.  Zzzzzzzzz.   More immediately, I'm recovering, mentally speaking, from a grueling Friday in which I was involved with three (online) conference sessions, one right after the other, followed by a 90-minute meeting at the end of the day. Also virtual. My brain has been mush ever since, so an easy, completely unproductive Saturday watching intermittent snow fall outside (no accumulation however) and drinking coffee while the visiting handymen completed some repair work down h...
