This weekend I intend to set up my ACW Foundry/Perry figs that still need painting in a battle scene on my soldier table. I have done it before as an incentive to "bring to life" the scene going from primed and partially painted figs to a fully painted battle scene. I just completed 5 figures that I painted to have some individual personalities on the field. As I have painted my ACW army, I have tried to find ways of making the field more interesting and that has been one way. Thanks for listening. |

Sounds like a great idea. I can use all the help I can get. Steve |

Interesting idea. I often do a few rank and file skirmish troops and then put a leader or detailed figure in the mix to help. When doing lots of the same scenery (eg fences) I will mix any figure in to help. |

I had a very successful day of painting by using alcohol as my motivator. For every two figures completed I can have a little sip from my drinkie-poo. Works great, and I highly recommend it, whether you are painting or not. |

Points! Everything you paint is worth points and these can be redeemed in the form of buying fresh lead which then needs painting which is worth points which can be redeemed in the form of buying fresh lead which then needs painting which….. |
