Here is where things stand at the moment.
Still messing around adding layers to hills and ridges this afternoon with the help of my small, blonde assistant. Happy Fathers' Day everyone!-- Stokes
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!

What spires, what farms are those?
For it is the table of yon Stokes,
Where toy soldiers march in rows,
I am no hand at verse it seems,
and had best stick to prose.
Our friend and commentator, the estimable Conrad Kinch, proves that within every Irishman burns the spirit of the poet, if in ever so small a quantity! It was a pleasure to view your efforts in terrain design. Will you be draping a oovering over these or painting and flocking them? They should provide a wonderful venue for your table top battles when done.
May you have had a wonderful Father's Day and may you have many, many more.
Best regards,
