Back in the saddle.

 Well I'm back from my sabbatical in the Big Apple, jet lagged and knackered, but still a very enjoyable experience as always.So it was back to the brushes, or in this case the tufts and some pva.
 This unit of Eureka Saxons has been waiting to be painted since April 2017, but I'm pleased they are finally painted and based.I do have an affinity for the poor SYW Saxons, probably due to the regular bullying by Frederick. No doubt they will do what Saxons do best, which is just average.Still, they did know how to dress.

      Thanks Stokes. I do enjoy painting the Saxon army, they were colourful chaps. I did cheat a little to add some extra colour by using the 1750 uniform as opposed to the later plainer one.

      Eureka make some lovely figures. They are very sturdy but not cheap.
