Finally some painting 🙂

Just seem to have been really busy recently so not achieved much painting, but I have been plodding on with the ACW cavalry.

Here the next Union regiment completed. Perry figures which were picked up at a show, based but unpainted. Hence the slightly thicker bases than normal but not very noticeable. That leaves me with 12 or so more to do. I now have a target to get them all finished for the end of May !
I also completed the windmill for our recent battle, the new Rendra model, very simple to put together, I added a little extra detailing so it matches in with my other buildings.
Finally for those that like them another shot from last week of the Lakeland fells looking south.

That’s all for now folks, thanks for popping by Matt ❤️

  1. Does the windmill mean we’ll be seeing some Market-Garden soon? ;) Good stuff, as always.

  3. Nice figures, windmill and landscape! The latter channeling your inner Wainwright perhaps.

  8. The Union cavalry looks great, and nice to hear the windmill went together easily. Being Renedra I'm guessing it is plastic and their kits seem to be well thought through.

  12. Excellent work on both the cavalry and the windmill:). The lovely weather and family staying over has put a complete stop to all wargaming related activity, other than reading. First World problems and all that;)!
