Captain Blood's ECW resurrection. P.43. Cuirassiers ride!

[DintheDin]

A true cascade of eye candy!!! 

[AKULA]

To be clear, this isn’t a wargame in progress – I’ve just shamelessly deployed the collection onto the table for the eye candy

Nothing wrong with that, we all love drooling over eye candy from time to time.

Congratulations mate, you’ve got a cracking looking collection there, not to mention the excellent terrain (and beehives of course).

 

[Silent Invader]

Magnificent! 

[Atheling]

Fabulous stuff 

A really beautiful collection to be very proud of.

How many years in the making Richard?

Wow 🤩. A really fabulous cavalcade of troops. Wonderful figure painting and the terrain sets them off wonderfully. Struggling to think if I’ve seen a better looking setup. Inspirational.

Thanks for taking the time to set it up and share it. 👍🏻

A fabulous collection Richard and quite a treat to see them arrayed as if for battle. Truly wonderful. 

[Captain Blood]

Thanks very much gents 

Which manufactures made the beehives?

Dirk, they are from our good friend James

How many years in the making Richard?

Well I guess the first 230 or so figures took about a year or 18 months to pull together and get painted, (either by me, or by Michael and Shaun). That was around 10 years ago.
The other 150 or so (the resurrection bit!) I have added in the last seven months. Again, Michael (Baner) painted around 20 of these for me, and Shaun (Redzed) another 40 or so. The remainder I painted myself - all as detailed above in the course of this thread

But you do know it's the law that if you have wargaming hats it is mandatory to wear them during games, don't youi? We want pictures as proof or we'll grass you up to the Old Bill. 

I’ve got pics of me wearing both those hats somewhere!

Now THAT is a very inspiring collection of ECW porn, Riccardo!
 

So, when are you going to set about painting the rest of the population of England, then...?

I can well believe that, for some reason.

That must be a strong table Richard
Stunning job it has been a pleasure to watch your progress

Considering all your other projects that's exceptionally good going at such a high standard
