Off the Workbench - Mike W, 16/05/18

What's Off the Workbench today,Wednesday  16/05/2018?

Again a lean couple of weeks in the painting front - this time down to my son's actual wedding and the ensuing holiday we took to get over the event!

Big news is that I completed the Activo Militia battalion for the coming Texas Revolution game in June, this battalion is now represented by 5 x 8 man companies plus officers and NCOs. All companies have been painted as Fusilier companies, assumption being Cazadore and Grenadier companies have been detached for special duties...

What's On the Workbench today?

Only two items on the workbench at present. First we have 5 x 1st Corps 28mm mounted Mexican Officers who will be used as Battalion and Brigade commanders in the forthcoming game. The two figures in cocked hats will be the Brigade Commanders,the remaining three in Shakos will be Battalion Commanders.

The second item is a 28mm Front Rank mounted general for the Anglo-Dutch Wars projects. picked this up cheap from eBay and is already partly painted, I'll complete it and make it comparable with my other figures in the range.

Front Rank mounted General from eBay!

Assuming I get these mounted figures done quickly, I have two mounted Texian Officers to paint and a couple additional companies for the 1st Corps Matramos Battalion, previously showcased. After that back the Anglo-Dutch Wars project and the possibility of expanding that out to include Holy Roman Empire & Poles v Ottomans!
