"Well, I suppose that's that, Hives," quipped the Grand Duke Irwin-Amadeus II at the conclusion of the battle. "Frightfully good show, but ol' von Tschatschke had an easy time of it though if you ask me. Still, places to go, and people to see, eh Hives? Come along now! There's a cobbler back up the road in Kaunitz who has promised to measure my feet for a pair of whole-cut riding boots. We mustn't keep him waiting." Figures in this vignette are all by Minden with a Foundry barrel at the foot of the signpost and a unit of 1/72 Revell plastic infantry in the background.
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!

Wonderful vignette and splendid uniform colours - waht a joy to look at!
Good idea with diffrent scales in one picture, using the perspective!

Thanks also for the heads-up on Phil's new blog - big fan of his work and thinking so seeing all the old bits again is great.
Have fun, Jeremy
