Sharp Practice Progress

 

A very short one from me as I try to keep to my "two posts a month" promise. 

As January comes to an end, I didn't quite get everything done that I had wanted. The final French Light battalion is in for basing, so that won't now complete until Feb, and I didn't get all the time on my own projects that I wanted to, but I have completed 4 minis this month so I can't complain overall. 

I did manage to complete my first personal minis of the month, another 8 British Napoleonics for my Sharp Practice force:


They do require their multi-base finishing but the minis themselves are all done. All are plastic Perry Miniatures. I would have done some more but a few shifts at work over ran which didn't help! 

February plans will be to get the French finished off, more work on my British and I have some commission work for the War of Spanish Succession. More on that soon!

On with the French!

 

Bit later than planned, but here is the first post of the year!

The start of the year has seen me clearing some commission work. I managed to finish the last of the Sisters of Sigmar, but that was just a single mini so I haven't photographed it. The main effort has been on the French and a result I have now completed the third battalion of light troops:



Of course, they are not massively different from the other two, but it's a pleasing effort. Here are some close ups:




I am now three quarters of the way through the work. I have the fourth battalion and four mounted colonels to complete. With a bit of luck battalion four will be done just before the end of January. I am pleased to report that I am not burned out on French yet - good job as there are nearly 200 hundred more in the queue for later in the year.

Overall, it's not a bad January so far at 37 models, sadly all commission work though! Hopefully the next post will be some of my own stuff.
