Hi everyone,

I have just finished the Union Cavalry and I am quite happy with them.  For such a quick paint job they are a good standard.

Now I will start the Confederate Cavalry, but before that, I want to take a small break and make some fields for the game.

That finishes the first part of making the fields.  The next step will be to give the fields colour texture and vegetation.  Altogether I have six of them to do!

That is all for now, stay safe and have fun as always.

Until next time.
