Project update 1745 Jacobite Rising

[Antonio J Carrasco]

Feel your pain. That is one of the things of ordering from Hudson & Allen that puts me off.

Not ideal, paid a few days ago no idea when they will arrive, still they are the best around I feel so I will suck it up.

The Hudesna nd Allen cottages are here, love these.

Really lovely models. They are a pleasure to paint.

Iain has activated his last Kickstarter for the '45:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/funkyflags/1745-jacobite-rebellion-last-hurray?ref=user_menu

To be honest I would have liked a for Prince Charlie's Horse Guards and for Government troops marching/advancing poses, but on the other hand Iain will expand his range into the War of Austrian Succession, which if successful, will give us more options. Anyway, I am not in a hurry. I am a slow painter (I've just finished my first Jacobite brigade and I am half-way the first Government brigade! )
