The Painting Table Queue Jumper

The glacial painter has a moment!

Every now and then I get a bee in the bonnet and have to paint a figure or unit not in the plan.

In this case my sizeable paint queue from last summer has reduced, yet there are still units now 12 months on the table, and counting.

So of course it’s madness to start a new set of figures. Undeterred I have managed to get these six completed in a day with the help of high temperatures drying the paint rapidly.

This is my take on the fusiliers of Brigata Fanteria 1852, reflecting the Duke of Parma’s decision to go Prussian in his reorganisation of the army after the Austrians victory of 1849 at Novara.

Next up should be some more rule tests.

Hi john thanks, I have finally resorted to some mash ups – in this case strelets union acw infantry and colonial British artillery by hat! I was sceptical at first but things are desperate in the plastic proto spiky Prussian hat world of 1/72 🤣
