| Half way finished! The light cavalry rides again! |

| Ready to cut some peasants down to size! |

| Spur of the moment purchase from Toyworld. Ihave always had a hankering to paint Austrians. The problem was that they had two distinctive uniforn styles during the Napoleonic period. Painting 2 3000 man armies would be a little tiresome. |

| The dude who has fallen from with horse is a cool figure and desrves a good standard of painting. I might really paint him up next weekend. |

My AWI horses got a bit of a touch up tonight before tea. I used acrylic brown on top of my standard enamel. Acrylics are pretty cool but I grew up with enamel Humbrol paints and I am not sure I can part with them totally. With browner mounts the Brits look a lot cooler. Next stage is the finicky touch up stage and then the basing. Previously, I have got a joinery shop to cut up thin MDF for me. Unfortunatley I have ru out of those bases so it looks like a call to "my man" might be in order.
