F&IW things to come

Very good job Lance. I cannot do just part of a unit, I would never be able to match the colour/style if, like you, I did 3 then some more a month later. Plus my table is such a mess I might not find the first 3 when I did get around to doing more. Keep up the good work, sculpting & painting.

All right, true confessions time 
I know it sounds very sad, but I had exactly the same problem with remembering what colours and mixes I used, so for units, I've started noting them down in a book  - I said it would sound sad 
My problem is, I may start out painting quite a lot more figures in one batch, but as things progress and my patience wears thin, I tend to want to finish off 2 or 3 in particular, so the rest get left behind, in fact, they can get left in the rear for quite some time  so at least if I keep a note of the colours I was using, I have some hope of a reasonable match - OK, still sounds sad 
Add to that my need to spend more time sculpting than painting, and a requirement to paint a variety to show the figures on the site, and my ability to put together finished units gets progressively worse 
For instance, with my Provincials, the New Jersey Blues currently counts 6 finished painting, the Virginia Regiment 2, and Pennsylvania 1. I suppose at a pinch I can group them together into a slightly disparate looking combined unit of 9 until I get time to finish more

As for your confession Lance, I too jot colour notes down (even puting a bit of the paint on the page) a really useful practice.
The only problem is (as I said before) my work area is a real mess, I know the book is in there somewhere, but I just can't find it!!!!

Aaah - great to hear from you Pete 
Got to admit - tidy working areas don't last long with me either

Here's my New Jersey Regiment of Provincials so far - only 6 finished (several others half painted and set aside due to more pressing demands on my time)  

The Jersey Blues served with distinction, mostly on the northern frontier.

While moving towards some new releases, I'm trying to catch up with adding pictures to the Customers' Gallery page, loads more to add. Here's one from John Hansen in the USA:



John's used Photoshop Elements to combine the figures with the photographic background.
