Hi Folks

Realised I had not posted my blopost on the Shed Wars ECW project on TMP.

The plan is to paint up hundreds of the 28mm figures by June of this year. I am focussing on the Parliamentarian side and my mate is working on the Royalists.

The start of this project can be found here…

Your progress is inspirational.

Great start, we built armies for this last year and have been having a blast with it. Enjoy!

Looking good. Great basing.

That's a fair bit of cavalry to paint. I got ECW enthusiasm overload painting just 64 cavalry in 10mm, so best wishes for those 28mm; if they come out as nicely as the guns they will make a splendid sight.

I turned to my 6mm AWI project for some relief but have returned to ECW to add some artillery to make an army for the Pendraken painting competition; your guns will give me inspiration.

One of the "painting tricks" that I have found over the years is to paint the flesh base-coat once the figures are primed.

For some reason this seems to begin to bring the figures to life (at least for me). If this works for you, great; if not, well at least you will now have paint on the figures.

Good luck, sir. It is looking great so far.

What rules are you planning on using?
