On the paint table

Hi!
During the last few weeks I've been painting on and off. Mostly off. Painting for 30 minutes or so every now and then. Painting can be a slow affair sometimes. I have, though, started the British for the French and Indian Wars. It doesn't mean I've finished the French and Indians, I haven't.
I also bought, quite cheaply, some Garrison (?) Persian Infantry.

Here are a few pictures of where I'm at:-







I like the look of these figures. I will have to replace the mdf shields for white metal ones. You can't fight effectively with an mdf shield though I suppose it is no less effective than a wicker one!

  1. Despite the bulk of my gaming being 6mm I have a single FIW figure on my painting table at the moment. This is a Mohawk warrior from Galloping Major and is the first 28mm figure I have laid a brush on for over a decade. I'm enjoying the change of pace so will probably buy a few more for skirmish gaming. As a result I shall watch your progress with interest.

    1. Hi! Elenderil, It's strange how things can come about accidentally. As blogged sometime earlier, my son bought the F&i Wars British and French as a gift. I had no intention before then of starting this period. But, I'm happily moving along, a little faster than with the Frostgrave. Another Xmas present were the Mohawk and Huron. I wanted to stay small as I want to keep the lead pile small.
      I hope you find more of interest in future blogs.

      Thank you
