Painting Progress Update

Well, I had high hopes for the speed of my paintbrushes in declaring my 2008 painting goals. To my amazement I have kept pace... so far. Now to be honest, I have counted miniatures that I have had painted for me by others in my totals but they are my painted figures so I count 'em!

Some of what has been completed in 2008:

25mm Front Rank Napoleonic French Dragoons
25mm (Old) Bicorne Napoleonic French Cuirassiers
25mm Front Rank Napoleonic Polish Lancers of the Imperial Guard
15mm ACW buildings x3
25mm Middle Eastern Adobe-Style Houses x2
15mm SYW Austrian Infantry (6 Battalions)
15mm Stone Mtn Confederate Supply Train
25mm Wild West Gunfighters
25mm Mexican Peasants
25mm Napoleonic French Generals


Currently in the works:
25mm Front Rank Napoleonic French Dragoons
15mm Vauban Star Fort
25mm Wild West Gunfighters
25mm Mexican Peasants
25mm Old Glory WW1 Germans (Western Front)

A Modest Proposal

I buy miniatures. I paint miniatures. Sadly, I buy many, many, many more miniatures than I paint! My goal this year is to paint 365 25mm miniatures. Sounds easy, right? It would be simple if I weren't slow, indecisive, and easily distracted! But I am not going to let those issues stop me from reaching my goal.

The rules:
25mm Cavalry count as 2 figs
15mm Cavalry count as 1 fig
25mm Infantry count as 1 fig
15mm Infantry count as .5 fig
25mm Artillery pieces count as 2 figs
15mm Artillery pieces count as 1 fig

Boats, buildings, and everything else count as 5 figs regardless of scale!

Sounds like time to abandon full dress uniforms and go for drab plain overcoats and natives in simple garb to bulk up my painted totals!

Will you join me in taking up the challenge!

Lost Passwords

I lost my password and that makes it pretty hard to do any updates! After a bit of digging I (obviously!) have found it so my sporadic posts can resume!

Flags for NiE 2

French Flags for NiE Line Units

These flags are not very good resolution. I have not figured out how to export from Freehand in a format that keeps the resolution of the original. Any help would be welcome.

Here are the flags as they appear so far... These are for the Light Demi-Brigades but lack any battle honors. I am still trying to nail down the facts as to what units, if any, had battle honors.

Latest Work

I have been doing some work trying to get my 25mm Old Glory collection done for Napoleon in Egypt. I have completed 1 Light Demi-Brigade and 3 Line Demi-Brigades. In addition, I have painted up the Chasseurs and Hussars for the army. While I have pieced together enough info the draw the infantry flags I have thus far found nothing regarding the cavalry flags. The hunt continues...
