Your productivity never ceases to amaze me.

[von Lucky]

Agreed, and the quality too.

Not a fan of a Lightbox for your images? (Blogger dashboard then, 'Setting' / 'Posts, comments and sharing' / 'Showcase images with Lightbox' / 'Yes')

Fine painting in astonishing speed! Working on a napoleonic myself I'm amazed at your output and speed.

Thank you - one of my friends describes it as factory painting - for example I have over 288 french infantry to paint

last week I painted all the boots, trousers, jackets and backpacks in a couple of marathon sittings - buy the end of this week I should have finished all the flesh, shakoes and muskets. Once the basics are done I complete each regiment fiddly bits one regiment at a time.

by focussing on the same item (eg musket) with the same colour its amazing how quickly you can plough through the units. There is no shading and the dip followed by matt varnish really speeds things up.

I tried to do something similar with only 70 WWII Germans and it was painful so I commend your resolve.
