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!

Know the feeling well.
Buckle up,old sod, and keep a stiff upper lip! Remember - chicken soup has no medicinal properties but the warmth will make you feel more comfortable and the fluid will contribute to better hydration. You might want to hold off grading those papers. When you finally get to them just remember that one of them probably gave it to you. Also, I would add that even ten minute of painting time a day gets you that much closer to finishing the next unit of figures
Do feel better - your audience looks forward to further pithy comments, witty bon mots, and incisive, perceptive discussion. And as much as we would like to invite you to the Bishopric Residence, those in charge of what is euphemistically described as th"plague watch" have decided to close the borders until this wave of influenza passes.
Feel better.
