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
Beautiful painted minis Matt!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal 👍
DeleteWell, your holiday snaps were very good Matt.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
Thanks Lawrence 🙂
DeleteOutstanding 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...
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon…….and your theory is ?
DeleteLovely work Matt. I've seen a tenfold increase in views on my blog. I put it down to AI trawling over everything
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil….yes I’m sure they are bots 🤔
DeleteGreat looking additions. I neither know nor care how many views I get, it's the bad weather that pushes productivity!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain I’m really only aware as it comes up on the list when I log in to see comments. Catch 22 then I don’t want bad weather but it does help my painting 🤔
DeleteExcellent brush work on the Diddy Men Matt! I especially liked the Jocks!
ReplyDeleteThanks David 👍
DeleteGreat looking figures all around, Matt!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean
DeleteI have hit 1,000,000 views months before I expected it, it’s certainly bots or someone who needs to get out more.
ReplyDeleteThanks George bits it is the consensus is new Ai over on the states ?
DeleteNice work Matt.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm 👍
DeleteSuper work Matt, the SYW artillery looks great and the Epic ECW is very tempting to do when you see the great results you have got from them, really well painted.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie, a lot has been said about the slightly odd sculpting of the warlord 12mm cavalry , but this is really only noticeable close up and they are fine at gaming distance
DeleteSplendid and productive Matt. I shall look forward to your game reports.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil….ECW will be a while yet perhaps next year ?
DeleteExcellent work across the board Matt:). As for page views, my own Blog seems to be popular in Iran, Brazil, Indonesia etc, depending upon which day I check the stats. At least I'm keeping the Bots in gainful employment;)!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve the bots had a field day on my recent El Cid battle ?
DeleteNice work on all the latest figures Matt - you must have missed the two days of comments re the huge number of views while you were in Europe - seems to be a universal issue - from a couple of hundred mine have shot up to a couple of thousand each post - unfortunately, I am still only averaging around 30-40 comments (half being my replies) Seems like the AI engines are busy finding out what wargaming is all about!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith , yes the increase was when I was away
Deletegood looking stuff. you never know, holiday snaps make good reading. 😁
ReplyDeleteThanks Stew I guess the Ai engines or whatever it are just churning through everything all of the time , hard to understand really ?
