For rebel cavalry I suggest.
1. Base the figures first so that they can be used in games.
2. Undercoat with white then Tan
3. Ink wash brown.
4.Add some black trousers and horses.
5. Add some dark brown trousers and horses.
6. Add some white to horse ankles and flashes.
7. Add some blue to trousers and jackets.
8. Gunmetal for rifles and barrels.

Job done for gaming.

By this method one can do 50-70 figures per day.

Two different, yet similar C19th things. First off I am giving the Dominion of...... rules a try out using the Balaclava scenario in 2mm. Completed the Russian force and now started on the Anglo-Turkish force. 14 bases in total (as I have given each force an HQ base). Secondly started a project to paint up my long standing 10mm Franco-Prussians of Republican French and Prussians/Bavarians in greatcoats. 30mm frontage bases to suit Square Bashing (but 20mm depth - still getting four or five infantry to a base). Will probably add a bit of snow. So as to keep a focus I am painting just the troops for a Villers-Bretonneux scenario, to also include the French unloading a battery of guns from a train. I enjoy these rules so much that my next focus will be a 15mm BEF August 1914 scenario, set during the Great Retreat.

At the moment a refresh of some 15mm tanks I first painted 15 years ago and more units for my Stalingrad project

After the success of my first Svaneti tower, I'm working on a second one with attached buildings. The Orthodox church is all but finished now. It is quite cathartic converting all those foam scraps into tangible scenic pieces. At some point I will have to turn to the actual figures again! I've had some success using PP 16/62 Cossack heads on Irregular Caucasus infantry to inject more variety...
