Cheers guys!

I have some Jaegers and artillery to do still, but I want to paint the Princess characters from Mancha first and though I'm bitting at the bit to get at them, I have sworn I won't paint them until I get my steam tank done first.

@gamer Mac:  They are Foundry Franco-Prussian minis.

@Malamute:  Well, given the way this project is progressing... pitting my army against yours may be a couple years down the road.   lol

And I also need more terrain.  Gotta do something about that too....

Good, cause I can't wait to see the steam tank.  I'm looking forward to doing mine as well, as soon as the LPL is done.

Really nice Prussians!

They were always meant to be white, so you got them half right  lol

(my Prussians are dressed in all white... )

Really nice looking army. Fun to see a not much used country get some attention.

Ray, if you ever come through Charleston without giving me an opportunity to face you and that army on the gaming table, I will hunt you down and beat you with a trout.

"Wow" indeed!  Pure VSF loveliness.

I really must get some of those young ladies - especially the one in the pickelhaube  :-*

That shade of blue you've used for the landship is really eyecatching - in fact unique  :o

No chance of any "blue-on-blue" incidents there!

Thanks for the comments, chaps!   :)

My little army is coming along pretty well now and I do have plans to expand it.  The next unit will probably be an infantry guard unit with an Anubis helmet mod.   o_o

My attention is starting to turn towards terrain to get my battlefield in shape so my VSF Yanks and the Egyptians can tangle.

I also have a half built Egyptian Landship to complete as well.  I lost "steam" there when the Royal Engineer ran into some problems with the superstructure but I think I know how to sort it out.

Overall, I'm still missing some critical elements to actually gaming but slowly but surely I'm making progress.

I really like the Egyptian Army and it has surpassed my Yanks as the favorite.

Cheers all!
