On the Workbench: 10mm George Washington and American Artillery

A few more to add to the collection of Pendraken 10mm AWI:

George Washington and staff. In reality he will double up as a divisional commander in other scenarios. Having acquired the figure from Pendraken I just had to include him.

Continued:

A battery of American 6pdrs. I had considered making them look a little more irregular in appearance but got rather carried away! Future units may have a rather more dishevelled look.

Followers of the blog will have seen a posting about acquiring new paint brushes from 'Rosemary and Co' (link to their site on the right hand column of my blog). Having now had a chance to put them through their paces I can report back that I am sold. These really are excellent brushes that maintain their shape well. One very minor quibble, which most of them suffered from, being one single hair that was slightly longer. Very carefully cutting off the excess sorted the problem. I will be ordering more in the new year to expand the collection. 

The Winsor and Newton matt spray varnish has also proved exceptional with a true matt finish. I am now coating the rest of my 10mm collection. The next rather larger task will be to give my 6mm figs a spray which will be done over time. A Prussian battalion has been give the treatment and it confirmed that it will be a job worth doing.
