This is the final installment of MTB02 - French Army, with all the miniatures painted. Figures weere collected from Graham last Thursday evening at the Abyss, as we met for another intro game of Sharpe's Practice.
There is one thing worse than painting miniatures, and that is to have unpainted miniatures. Captain's Blog will provide an audience, or in other words motivation, to stimulate my war game miniature painting productivity. In Halifax, we had a great group of gamers and we were constantly in competition with each other. I do not have the same community support in Montreal. I hope that by blogging regularly that I will force myself to paint more. Are you up to the challenge? Pick up a brush.

MTB02 - French Army - French and Indian Wars Part 4
These are the second to last installment of MTB02 - French Army - French and Indian Wars army pack being painted by Graham. We met up for breakfast Sunday morning to exchange hostages. As always the figures have been beautifully executed and they put my own painting efforts to shame.

Sunday morning I met with Luis and Graham for breakfast. Graham delivered the second batch of figures from MTB02 - French Army - French and Indian Wars. Twelve very well painted Canadian Militia figures, produced by North Star Military Figures and are included in the French Army boxed set for the French and Indian Wars. Beautifully painted figures.

MTB02 - French Army - French and Indian Wars Part II
Amongst the goodies I received from Graham on Sunday morning was the latest installment for my French Army for the French and Indian wars. Nine natives, painted to the standard for which Graham is known. IMO, they look fantastic.
