Big tiredness...


Well, it's the last finish, the next few hundred yards to painting most of the figures, the last straw, the last drop, the last... well you get the picture.
So what is exactly left to paint?
  • 15 Chasseurs a Cheval
  • 14 Hussards
  • 40 Grenadiers
  • 144 Line infantry
  • 20 mounted officers, file and high command
  • 9 guns + 45 artillery crew
So I tried to ready everything to paint it in one go... and then, it took the best out of me. So I will take it easy and paint one type at a time. Assuming it takes 1 minutes per infantry, and 3 per cavalry, that yields:
  • 15 Chasseurs a Cheval (45 minutes -> 2 days)
  • 14 Hussards (45 minutes -> 2 days)
  • 40 Grenadiers (45 minutes -> 2 days)
  • 144 Line infantry ( 3 hours -> 4 days)
  • 20 mounted officers, file and high command (1 hour -> 2 days)
  • 9 guns + 45 artillery crew (1 hour -> 2 days)
So, doing some painter Mathematics and adding the real life time warp factor,
it will take around 2-3 weeks to paint all that I have left.

In all, I am planning now:
  • 16 x infantry bases (32-36 figures)
  • 6 x calvalry bases (14-15 figures)
  • 6 x gun bases (1 gun 5 figs)
  • 3 x horse gun bases (1 gun 5 figs)
  • 5 x command bases (3 figures)
  • 1 x High in command bases (3-4 figures)
