The Legend of the Lost Legion
A month ago I confidently predicted I'd finish my next unit within a week. Here we are a month later and I've finally got round to finishing these HH recast line infantry ca. 1808 in greatcoats. It's been a busy month work and personal life-wise, with the continuing saga of my nasal reconstruction also featuring. The only reason I've found time to complete this exercise in "speed painting" is that I'm currently off work recovering from the latest surgical procedure. So here is the Lost Legion who should have marched off my painting desk a month ago. In the background are a unit of French Cuirassiers, a mix of originals and recasts, prepped and ready to paint. I'm not going to tempt fate by forecasting a completion date as I've got another couple of surgical procedures to look forward to in the next few weeks.

They look nice - there's something very minimalist about troops in greatcoats; and they should be quicker to paint but then again...
ReplyDeleteI hope all the surgery goes well and you get better soon - wishing you well.
