Several shades of grey....

Less than 50 ☺ but possibly as painful at times!

Last week saw me struggle through the army of the Prince Bishopric of Cleve, the final contingent for the Electoral Army. For some reason, they were hard going, but with the glue still drying on their bases, the military might parades in review before the Prince Bishop and his brother.



This completes the Electoral army and means that until I clean up and undercoat the next batch, I have no Spencer Smiths ready to paint, so will probably do something else. Hopefully, with a break, I will feel more enthusiastic about painting Spencer Smiths!

The next army is likely to be that of Waldow which have a very Swedish vibe to them.

Additional - a Grand Parade! The Electoral Army in all its glory!

    1. Thank you. One of the many good things about Volley and Bayonet is the realisation that it's the base that's important; the number of figures is simply a question of aesthetics. While many use 6mm / 1:300, the designer Frank Chadwick, prefers 54mm....

    1. They are sort of based around the Reichsarmy - "fancy" but mixed quality.....
