2nd Cavalry almost finished. Painted 36 figures this weekend at a leisurely pace. 24 based.

"What's stopping you base the last twelve?" I hear you ask.

They're flipping Uhlans. Gathering my strength to do czapkas and pennants and lances.  >:(

Oh Bum.

Remembered on the walk to work that the Uhlan pennants for the Polish are red over blue, not red over white. Hoping I can paint on the now attached lances.

Update - Have printed strips of colour to act as pennants instead.

Fair enough - can save you £50k a year - which one do you want let out? The robber, the rapist or the murderer?

Save 100K a year, give the rapist and the murderer a long drop with a short rope. Leave the robber where he is

So, 6 new lances with correct pennants done. Need to edge and glue them.

Then I'll do 6 more, and finish off the final base of 2nd Cavalry.

2nd Cavalry finished, I've moved on to 3rd, which hopefully will be a bit quicker - 4 bases of dragoons AND NO BLOODY UHLANS.
