I've hit a really bad painting block and I think these (especially the early artillery uniform) will spur me on. The sooner I get past the half painted men on the shelf the sooner i can get on to the gunners and jaegers!Adam from Lancashirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10265671835363653967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-40894787960872373862010-05-21T23:58:44.074+00:002010-05-21T23:58:44.074+00:00Thanks for commenting, AJ.

I may just change my own design for the Hetzenberg Guard artillery. ;)A Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834159033854153921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-29383723502686137312010-05-21T10:21:57.887+00:002010-05-21T10:21:57.887+00:00Thanks, Bill.
