About the Project

So I like most others have lots of projects that I’ve started and have stalled over the years. With boxes of figures mostly metals just sat waiting for some love. But I’ve been playing a little bit of sharp practice at a friends playing the French Indian wars, and it got me thinking. So whilst at Warlords on Saturday I managed to pick up a rather large box. Well masive might be more like it. I grabbed the death of glory box set. So I aim to start out a bit at a time building and painting enough for sharp practice and then building it up to play black powder. So I’m hoping having a project on here will help me stay focused.

This Project is Active

Back at it, and getting a game in

All the buildings are 3D printed too, so apart from the trees and fences all had some involvement by me.  I’m quite happy with the results. Buildings I will finish painting after I’ve done the armies.

So the building is coming along, ranking up is proving to be a little tricky but I’ve got that sorted I think now. Worse thing I’m not even halfway through building the troops yet. Still good job as I’m still deciding on paint schemes.

and we have a good painting guide
