My second unit of yellow coat foot seem to be taking an age to complete
Strange, isn't it, how some units you can breeze through in a few sessions over a day or three. Others seem to present an interminable painting slog? Can't understand it.
Anyway, once they're done, I just need to finish basing my third newly arrived Redzed pike unit, paint just more 12 white coat musketeers, and then I am DONE.
Meanwhile, my painting brain / eyes needed a change of scene, so I took a session out to quickly paint up a couple of lovely wagons I've had sitting in the lead pile for fecking years...
The smaller wagon (and its load) is by Boot Hill Miniatures, sculpted by LAF member, Duhamel.
Snr. Malamute kindly gave me this piece about 10 years ago. Finally it is done!
The larger farm wagon is another lovely piece, this one from Lead Adventure Miniatures.
Alex / the Prof kindly donated it to me about seven years ago (I think it was an LPL prize, sponsored by a mystery benefactor). So thank you, whoever that was - that's now done too.
I thought they would make a nice addition to my ECW setting, as well as serving for many other genres. You can never have too many wagons. Now I want more!
(I think I have to get the ECW beer cart from Empress at the very least
)
With a few figures, for scale...
Details details...
EDIT: Should have said, I substituted the solid timber wheels that come with the Boot Hill cart for a pair of plastic GW wheels. Bit more versatile for later periods like that I think...
