Suchet, Joseph, an ADC and some YG Volitgeurs. These took far longer than planned – lets hope things speed up a bit this year. link |

I enjoyed the commentary as you went along. As for your brush work…well done. Napoleonic figures look great once painted but a royal pain to paint. I know exactly what you mean by…a touch up here, then a re-touch there, then dang it, another touch up here,….. |

Love the mottled effect on the white horse. Nicely done, all around. Scrolled down to the vinyl flooring for sea waters. Looks superb! How wide was it on the roll, at the store? My table is 5.5 feet by 9.5 feet, and I would love to cover mine in a similar vinyl, if I can find it, and if it comes in at least 5.5 feet width… LOL! Cheers! |

Check sewing stores. They often have vinyl in 60" rolls and sometimes have discounted scraps. The OPs' piece is particularly nice though. |

Sgt Slag, the roll was 2m wide as are most rolls of vinyl flooring – I just wish I could find that colour/pattern again. |

Hitman – thanks, it's nice to know I'm not the only one – actually I did know it wasn't just me but it is nice to hear it. |

Nicely done! Hitman, that "royal pain"--though we shouldn't get personal about Joseph--is the price we pay for splendor. (You can get glory with a Patton in leather jacket figure--much easier to paint, but even less likely to lead a charge.) |

robert piepenbrink – thanks, but don't be mean to Joseph, I reckon the Spanish would have been much better off with him as their king if they could've just severed the umbilical to his brother. |
