<br />
So, we have...<br />
<br />
ARL7 - late roman inf armoured, attacking / mixed weapons<br />
FPW20 - french guard voltigeurs<br />
EL4 - elizabethan pike<br />
ACW - union inf firing<br />
LOA10 - league of augsburg inf march.<br />
<br />
Some good choices and 4 of the periods I've never tackled, so it'll be interesting to see what I can do with them.<br />
Keep your eyes peeled as I'll be posting a competition once they're painted for someone to win one of the finished units.<br />
Now off to think of a comp!<br />
<br />

<br />
Anyway, browsing through the work of Techno and Clib at Pendraken left me with an itch to sculpt, so a quick note to Leon and a bag of 10 dollies finds it's way into my last order :)<br />
<br />
I set to work, initially intending to do some cowboys but found the Zulu bug too much to ignore, thus deciding on a British officer in patrol dress.<br />
<br />
Here's the result, not great by any means but it's filled me with confidence to carry on.<br />

I've tried to add it but all I see is the word followers with 'join this site' above it, the 'join this site' bar then disappears after a second or two.<br />
It's the same when I visit other blogs I want to follow -I see the option to follow but before I can manouver my mouse to click join it disappears.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />

<br />
A couple of illustrated uniform encyclopedias (AWI and NAP), haythornwaite's ACW guide and also his guide to uniforms of the period 1815-50.<br />
<br />
I'll enjoy these for years to come and no doubt they'll hardly be back on the shelf.<br />
<br />
If you need any info that might be within, drop me a comment and I'll see what I can fish out.<br />

<br />
I really want to do something with them though, so have decided to create a few Imagi-nations and paint them all bright and bold.<br />
I'm happy with the results so far so inevitably have put in another order yesterday to bulk out the ranks.<br />
<br />
Below are border guard units from the nations of Essenfold (red) and Ardenia (blue).<br />
<br />
Many more little factions to be added, if anyone has colour ideas then I'm all ears.<br />
