100 Days Part: 03

 🇬🇧The 100 Days Project🇫🇷

Update #02

It's been 30 days since Adam and I started our epic scale Waterloo project and my british are well on their way!

I have now painted four battalions of line infantry - 320 tiny little mans! Enough to field a full brigade. Presented here are...

3/1st Royal Scots (in blue)

1/28th North Gloucestershire (in yellow)

1/32nd Cornwall (in white)

2/44th East Essex (in yellow)

As I finish more of these guys I am getting more and more excited about how it all looks. 

Next up are two battalions of the famous 95th Rifles. Keep watching this space!

100 Days: Part 1

 🇬🇧The 100 Days Project🇫🇷

This is the Big One! 

When I was very young, my dad started modelling and painting napoleonic figures, after seeing the film 'Waterloo'.

I was enthralled with his work, and the period, and my very first miniatures were HO scale Airfix napoleonics. 

Now, decades later, my friend Adam and I are embarking on a new minis challenge -- 1,000 points of figures for Epic Battles: The Waterloo Campaign!

Our goal is to completely paint up hundreds (and hundreds!) of tiny little soldiers for our first game, set for June 18th. The 18th is the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, *and* as of today it's 100 days away -- Significant for those who know Napoleon's history. 

Watch this space as I tackle a project 55+ years in the making!
