I am giving the hobby a break for a while as the year moves to its busy side. Next year will be a year of changes for the family. Among these many changes will be my oldest daughter moving off to Auckland University. Anyway, I hope to keep the hobby going in 2017 but I will sign off now with a pic of my old Del Prado Napoleon at War. Vive la Emperor!
I guess most artillery would have had 6 horse teams so I will have to raid my spare french figures to make up for the deficit in horses. All work for the coming months.
Today I took a break from figures and built up this little house. I have a dearth of houses and general terrain for my imaginary wargames table so today's effort goes some way to fixing this. It was a great little day project in between my work on the Austrian artillery. Good times!
A nice change from painting infantry. The figures aren't as goog as the Hat French but still quite ok. I might have to do some chopping to get the riders to look more natural.
The "German" battalions are finished and now I am awaiting the start of the Landwehr/Grenadiers and Grenzers. Another 15-20 battalions methinks. In the meantime I am going to start on my baggage wagons and cavalry artillery.
Been a bit sick and busy lately. Anyway here is a snap of the continuing project.
