's motivation to paint Napoleonic ships returns!
On Easter Sunday, the weather in Sheridan was clear and beautiful...
But by the 24th, there was snow!
I asked my daughter if I could use one of her figures. My schedule did not really allow me to paint one from the box, and I paint 15mm. The figure is a West End Star Wars young female Jedi. We took the Foundry grenadier in exchange.
We picked this up at the KublaCon flea market a couple of years ago. One afternoon she whipped it out (we paint together 2-3 times a year), and it was in the curio cabinet until we moved to Wyoming.
She (and her brother) followed the Last Painter Standing contest with me, and when it came time for 80 Days, it was: "what are we doing?" The sad part is she is a great painter (notice the eyes and lips), but only when the mood strikes her (she has a couple of Reaper Angels waiting for the brush).
The box was on its way by the 26th. I added some more packing, as a few of the items looked a little worn... 
I think the included card sums up Wyoming well.
Sheridan is about 20 miles south of the Montana border, 60 miles south of the Custer Battlefield...
...35 miles south is Buffalo in Johnson County (Johnson County War), and 15 miles south is Fort Phil Kearney. Sheridan was a stopover for General Crook on campaign after Custer. As you can see in the pictures, the Big Horn mountains are right outside of town. Sheridan College is where I work, and the reason we moved to Wyoming.
