Painting this week

This week spurred on by the Battle of Hochkirch I have completed another SYW unit. Eventually I will get to the bottom of my 10mm box ?
Prussians Regiment No 1 : Von Winterfeldt
Also this week I have completed the British Honey’s these are plastic soldier company models and were a bit of a pain to put together, I have deliberately made them slightly lighter to give some variation on the battlefield.
Finally, the box comes with lots of spare bits so I thought I would make a brewed up tank, it seems fairly effective so may dig out the other bits

Little and often is the aim and I feel I am making progress 👍

Matt

    Excellent work! Painting in short sessions, often, is the way toward fielding large armies.

      THATS what I do wrong! I get long paint sessions sporadically.

    Very nice Matt, that's more than I have managed to paint recently! I was surprised the PSC kits were a hassle as I have had a couple of theirs...German and British Halftracks .... and I thought they were great, only eight to twelve parts each. The Honeys are smaller tanks though I guess. The brewed up wreck is really cool!

      The PSC instructions were actually incorrect, if I get round to it I will email them. But the tracks didn’t actually fit that well.

    Grand painting progress all round there Matt, though my favourite is the brewed up tank vignette.

      Thanks David, the rest of the bits I have left over are now to be converted into some ‘kangaroo’ transports

    Great work there Matt. Little and often is a great approach for sure, but this year a bad back followed by a cold has put pay to any painting. I hope to get back to it in the next day or two...

      Thanks Phil, the rest of the bits are going to get used trying to make some transports I think 👍

    Nice Matt, especially the brewed up tank. My own painting is taking a back seat at the moment.

    Agree, the brewed Honey from spares is inspired.

      Thanks Norm, I know discover I can probably cobble together some transports so will try a few of those

    Lovely Prussians and I am thoroughly enjoying seeing this British force come together.
