Thats great work you have done on those Rebs, looking forward to the horses. I have just about completed 16 Redoubt horses and it seems that they are draining the life out of me, I really do not like painting horses.

Great work!

You are like a one man production line!

Oil on the horses....are you using the 'wipe' method to speed things up, or is there another reason for the choice of oil paint?

Thank you for the additional photos. those are a superb bunch of troopers. Love the individual figures and love how you have combined them into very natural looking units. Your painting style suits these troops perfectly.

Know what you mean, I've been having a hard time sitting with the brush lately myself, being summer and all, I have been working myself bone tired.

Good to hear that every thing is fine, take care.
