A Few Final Touch-ups. . .

Not yet cemented to their permanent Litko bases, but here they are.

An hour or so in the painting chair early this Sunday afternoon doing the inevitable touch-ups with Citadel Warboss Green (ex-GW Goblin Green) along the edges of the figure bases before gluing everything down this evening.  I've also spotted a few very tiny details I want to add before calling this composite battalion of grenadiers DONE.  Almost inconsequential things only a painting pedant like me will notice after the fact, but there you are.  

Next up, the long threatened composite battalion of Prussian grenadiers in mitre caps, which will be based on uniforms worn by Württemberg and Hessian troops of the period.  Tomorrow is our 13th wedding anniversary, but as The Grand Duchess will not return home from her conference in Hawaii until Wednesday afernoon, I feel relatively safe in spending time on the new batch of painting tomorrow.

In the meantime, The Young Master and I are headed out for another Tour de Cul de Sacs around the neighborhood on our bikes early this evening before dinner.  Today has otherwise been a very easy Sunday.  We both slept very late -- I can't recall the last time I slept undisturbed until 10am! --  and after showering and tossing on some khaki shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, Paul and I went out for breakfast to our favorite quick and dirty about ten minutes away in a nearby small town.  After both ensuring premature hardening of the arteries, we swung by the local supermarket for milk and, most important, a new box each of popsicles and fudgesicles.

As The Kinks sang, lazing on a sunny afternoon in the summertime.
