In the meanwhile, somebody gotta kill some time...
And so, I took the brushes off and I re-started my weekly routine of slow but steady progress. Actually, this couple of days were more satisfying than most, because I finally completed different units in my Marlburian project that have been on the workbench for quite some time.
First, a Spanish grenadier unit, Milan Regiment. You may remember a Santa-looking unit from a post a while ago, but you will appreciate the better style of the completed grenadiers now that painting is concluded. These are 15mm Spanish grenadier from the GFI/Minifigs range.
Next, also from my favorite 15mm range by GFI/Minifigs, two French units, Regiment Normandie and Regiment Piedmont. In order, you will first see an infantry from Normandie, followed by two from Piedmont.
There are some more pics from the two red-clad regiments that complete this batch, the Swiss Regiment Stuppa and the Irish Regiment Donnington. Apparently, my blogspot connection is running to some trouble tonight, so you will have to wait until tomorrow... believe, it is worth the wait, because I took some artistic dares in painting these units (especially the officers), and I am very proud of the results!

Babies, like wizards, are never late. They always arrive precisely when they mean to. ;)
I came nearly a month after I was expected, myself, so my mom would understand the Mrs' stress. God always has a reason for the timing of such things, even if it's not visible to us, I find.
Perhaps I shouldn't tell you this . . . but my mother went to the Hospital to have me, but it was a false labor . . . I was actually born 20 days later.
Keep that paint brush going while you wait.
