WWII Canadians, Month Five

Hmmm, here we are almost through Month Five of my WWII Canadians project. It’s been a while since I’ve thought about my progress in relation to my deadline. I have the rest of this month, and then February to paint 14 figures. I’m so close to finishing the current batch of six it doesn’t bear counting them. At my painting speed from the first months the situation could be considered dire. However by focusing on painting over other recreation I’ve increased my speed significantly. So much so that my only concern is ordering the last batch soon enough that I can start it in February.

Looking forward the purchase of a box of Victrix British Napoleonics looms on the horizon like the welcome sight of land after a sea voyage. My plan is to paint the British 89th Regiment of Foot as it appears at Lundy’s Lane. My figure scale is 1:10, so this will be 43 figures plus command. This will be five bases of eight figures, one half-base of three figures, and various bases of officers, sergeants, colours and drummers. Two and a half of the bases will be useful for the 1812 Lasalle game in July. Afterwards I can start looking into starting a Flames of War army.
