Making Plans

 


Whilst on holiday I sat down and made a list of the O.S. Napoleonics I have already cast and painted and where the project was going - this is unusual for me I normally don't plan anything - they usually  'just growed' like Topsy !

Well that's a lot done and quite a few to do . I would like to do a Dutch Army and perhaps dabble with the British, all using as much as possible the Prince August moulds , this will mean quite a bit of conversions which I'm looking forward to . I keep you posted .......

    1. I was somewhat surprised how much I had got done , a lot of the 'to do' stuff will involve conversions so thing are going to slow down.

  2. Hi,

    Splendid progress! Seeing it all laid out like that shows just how much work you’ve already put in—that’s a grand collection of home-cast troops. Prince August conversions sound like a smashing challenge for the Dutch and British contingents, too!

    All the best, Andy

    2. Thanks! New moulds are always a great excuse to expand the project. Which ones are at the top of your shopping list?

      Cheers, Andy

  3. I dunno, looks like a lot done to me. I see the Prussians will have to manage without any Cuirassiers of their own... :o(
