The fifth refurbished Roosian Infantry Battalion.

As you will recall I mentioned that I'd made up a fifth Roosian infantry battalion from the Prodigal Foundry Collection of figures which I'd overlooked somehow. They are a rather more eclectic mix of poses and uniforms but I hope the basing will bring them together when deployed on the tabletop battlefield here in GHQ. I still have flags to add to these, but that has to wait for now until I've cleared some space on the painting desk!

This brings the total of completed Roosian infantry battalions to eight so far, with a further four in the queue! Overall of these eight, five will be from the refurbished and rebased Prodigal Foundry Collection with the remainder from Great War Miniatures. For the British so far I will have seven infantry battalions completed, three from the Prodigal Foundry Collection making up a Light Brigade and four from Great War Miniatures; the Guards Brigade of three Battalions and the 1st, the Royal Scots. In addition to these I've completed a number of Command stands and refurbished one or two as well for both armies. All in all the project is going along as well as l could have dared to hope, at least so far...

  6. Quite a tally there Dave, and with such fine looking results too! As always... such excellent basing makes all the difference. Puts my dasultery output rate to shame! 😉

    1. We all work in our own circumstances and at our own pace. I once did nothing hobby wise for nine months, just too busy back then.
