The project is probably behind schedule, due to me getting extra figures designed ie doing a train and carriages and troops to fit.  Also extra poses, started 1849 troops, slowed with fitting in Baden revolt troops and going into greater detail with the Prussian artillery crew and support equipment, supply wagons ie ammunition limber and Napoleonic style limber.  The 1849 troops will be Bavarians, Hessians, Saxons, Nassau, Wurttemburg and all the minor german states.

Incredible work, my man!

I'm doing the same project in 15mm and it's a blast! I can honestly say that I love converting the minis and the painting has gone a bit faster than my other projects.

Currently working on a Prussian deployed artillery crew and Danish campany NCO standard bearer, at the same time I'm building a SH paddle steamer using a Napoleonic frigate hull I picked up at Battle Ground wargames show for a tenner, it already had lost its masts and bowsprit.  Its approx 300mm long it looks 15mm scale? I removed the ships wheel and tillerbar, the rest of the mountings for the bowsprit and deck hatches.  On the outside I've removed the side windows at the back and filed the rear windows flat.  I've now had made paddle wheels and the housings to fit on the side so next week I'll be grinding both to fit the side of the boat.  Attached picture of paddle wheel
