Terrain Tuesday - Recycling bins

 I was gifted some recycling bins at Partizan by Shaun on “the Bunker “ Samurai game. The bins are 28mm and I will add them to my modern skirmish and 2000AD collection I think. They need some graffiti so off to search for some suitable images to print out on decal paper.

Bavarian Napoleonic Artillery

 Completed my battery of Bavarian Artillery, quite happy with my artillery uniform blue colour. The Front Rank figures are a pleasure to paint and once I got motivated we’re completed in three nights. The guns have been completed for almost two months. 

I plan to commence the Victrix infantry for the Analogue painting challenge, I have some metal Front Rank command and light cavalry also to do to complete the division.

Cheers
