Been a while since anything has been posted and even longer since it was relevant to the blog. However, now back into the swing of things and looks as if I'll have a good run at it for a while with only a few distractions. The photo below is a "good-faith" work in progress shot of all the "cuddies" for the covenanter cavalry. It's been a bit of a trial to get variety in colour and learn to paint them ala Foundry but I think they came out okay. My biggest problem is painting horses in batches of 6, so I mixed them up with some dark age stuff to make sure I got plenty variety of colours. This resulted in 19 Covenanter horses, plus 9 arab, 6 dark age scot's and 7 norman nags too!
My cohort in India has picked up his paints too, so some more Irish are in the offing. Rumour has it he might be moving to a new location so we can only wait to see if Montrose and Baillie finally get to grips!!

Great progress, thats a lot of horses. And very nice brushwork on the nags. You got a jump on me by posting a WIP. Will have to add some paddy WIPs now.
Looking forward to seeing them Walter! Thanks for rejigging the blog format too.
Some nice brushwork on the horses. I always find painting a variety of colours difficult
Great to see you back in the "real" world, guys, this site has been my inspiration since I first found it!

Thanks guys - been a good experiment with the foundry set - pity can't do some greys - would make the unit really monotonous!!
Great to see your Auldearn project progressing. Brilliant horses.
I liked your great posting of middle ages horses..
