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.

Thought I best get some reading done on this subject
so to help with the painting side I’ve just ordered from good old Amazon an illustrated encyclopaedia of uniforms by digby smith and Kevin kiley should help, as I really don’t know much about this period.
Slow day today
So that's my 20 x 20 x 2mm bases sorted and some printed and some 8 man movement bases printed, next stop build some troopsSo it begins.
So in order to get the project off the ground I need bases. The bases on the spru are a tad too high for me, and my wanting to use them for a variety of rule sets, I’ve set to work on making my own bases and movement trays. So fire up fusion 360 and I’ve designed some and the 3D printers are hard at work making the first batches. This is going to be a long term project but here’s hoping it’s easier to paint than my Napoleonic project. That’s stalled half way, with about 8 units a side. Loads sat looking at me with sad eyes. But I just need to get away from all those belts and braiding. So fingers crossed I manage to keep this ticking along.
