Some wee fighting men painted 🙂

After a week at home with quite a few family commitments things are settling down, and with lots of rain I have found some motivation to get painting again. Long overdue I’m going to focus on my ECW collection for a while, or at least till I get bored.

First up though I had these larger artillery pieces prepped for ages so I worked my way through them. Prussians and Austrians in equal measure.
Some Cavalier cavalry in red uniforms
A second unit of Scot’s for Montrose army?
 
I have prepped loads more ECW figures so we’ll see how I get on in the next few weeks. If I kept a record of figures painted this week would have been a bonus week 👍

That’s it for now some games coming up in the next few days so if I don’t get distracted some more reports soon.

Final question to fellow blogger I have seen a massive increase in ‘views’ over the last month I assume the blogger system if just failing to weed out the bots again. Unless there are 10,000 people in my Holiday snaps, which seems unlikely 

Thanks all Matt

  1. Well, your holiday snaps were very good Matt.

    I too have noticed an increase, but mainly from the US rather than the usual places which confuses me a bit. They do say the US President spends a lot of time on social media though. The ECW stuff looks great. The cavalry in particular could pass for 28mm at first glance.

  2. Outstanding work, Matt! Yes, I reckon many of us are witnessing jumps in pageviews from the US. There are several theories and, of course, I have my own...

  3. Lovely work Matt. I've seen a tenfold increase in views on my blog. I put it down to AI trawling over everything

  4. Great looking additions. I neither know nor care how many views I get, it's the bad weather that pushes productivity!

  7. I have hit 1,000,000 views months before I expected it, it’s certainly bots or someone who needs to get out more.
