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).

WIP SYW Russian Cavalry Day Three

Hmmmmm. It seems I underestimated how much work was left to do for the dragoons and horse grenadiers. Not helped by me spending an hour trying to do something clever and then spending another hour correcting it when I realised that it wasn't actually so clever after all.

Luckily there isn't much left to do, but my next step will be rather fiddly - the white bits. After that it's touch-up/highlight the saddle rolls, touch up the black on the hats, add 'staches to most of the figures, highlight the officers' sabres, touch-up the wig tails then onto the flags.

So, pics:







I will finish these tomorrow and should be able to stick them onto bases.

    Continued good progress and that cornflower blue is eye-catching.

    Very impressed at the rate you're painting the SYW Russians. Tamsin, what rules due you intend to use? I've found Rank & File and Honours of War give a reasonable game. Regards Greg
