Only the one unit completed since the last posting although to that can be added 4 x 28mm 1st Corps Mexican Mounted Officers, 2 x 28mm 1st Corps American officers (awaiting varnish) and the 28mm Front Rank Anglo-French Wars general that I got part painted off eBay.
Seen pictured left in their raw state awaiting painting after being prepared a coupe weeks a go.
Then the completed job, with this batch added to the earlier batch that I painted a few weeks back, as seen pictured below. This now numbers 4 x 8 man companies plus a 5th 8 man Genadier company plus associated Officers & NCOs. Looks very nice en masse.

What's On the Workbench today,
well at present there are a couple of 28mm mounted American Officers awaiting 'dip' varnish & basing along with the Front Frank General noted above. I'm almost embarrassed to show this figure as most of the paint work was done when it arrived from eBay - all I have done is add gold trim to saddle-cloth, cuffs, hat, baton and pistols. Added white to the hat feathers and a flesh wash to face and hands. This will also be 'dip' varnished and based.
Finally on the workbench are a batch of 12 x 28mm st Corps American Cavalry from the Mexican War period. These came as part of a batch from eBay that had American infantry who can be painted up as the 52 man strong, Newport, Kentucky Rifles Company, led by Captain Sidney Sherman.

This unit wore a uniform similar in cut and style to the New Orleans Greys, except the uniform was entirely bark blue instead of grey! More on these when I get round to painting them
