About Me

A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

Fiddly Progress

It's Friday and I didn't want to do a lot of painting. Last night I got the brown and black washes done. So tonight I decided to do the fiddly black stuff - jacket lace, swords, leather belts, carbine metalwork, scabbards and the border on the shabraques. Of course, looking at the pics I took, I spotted that I'd missed the border on one side for one horse. I've just gone back and painted it.






I've got a lot of areas to go back and touch up before the next steps, but that was inevitable. Tomorrow should see me finish the painting if all goes well.
