Slow work in progress

A sluggish start to the winter painting challenges

Well AHPC15 has started but I have been very slow out of the traps.

I have made a start with some irregular miniatures that arrived very promptly in the Christmas post.

They are Neapolitan Dragoons circa 1860, but I took a punt on them for my 1848 Tuscany Dragoons.

To roach or not to roach that is the question in the 1840’s (image from nypl vinkhuisen collection – public domain)

Ok so they have some incorrect details – I can live with that.

I did manage some model prep for AHPC15 as well. Not sure when/if they will make an appearance.

For AHPC15 you need points on the board in January. The Tuscan dragoons will remain my focus.

Dave Stones “paint what you got” is all about clearing off what you have already. And that’s a rich vein for me.

All abandoned 2023/24 painting efforts! Queuing is no problem here.

Look like plenty to keep you going! 🙂 The problem I have if I prep too much beforehand is deciding which should get finished off first!

Hi John so this is the second year I have done winter challenges actually any painting challenges. The result has been multiplied prepared units and I fall into starting one then switching to another – yet I think when I did just one unit at a time I did not relentlessly complete that unit and in fact did other things all together. So my multiple production rate has matched or exceeded single unit production.
