The conversions to make the Wurtemburg horse arty came out very well. I note the new boxes of Perrys cuirassier have carabinier crested helmet variants as well - plenty of heads for conversion. be interesting to see if they match in OK. The one set I'd love to see made is Polish horse artillery limber and riders in czapka. Fat chance of that happening though - and I can't see opportunities to convert like you've done with the Wurtemburgers. Great site, wonderful figures.Doc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486634797266444464.post-73130238235917321632009-10-27T04:17:02.831+00:002009-10-27T04:17:02.831+00:00You are a man after my own heart.

That sounds like something that I would do: order 1,200 figures of anything.<br /><br />I have 800 Dave Alsop Old Glory Russians that I bought in bulk circa 1992 for my 200th anniversary of Austerlitz game. That project got derailed onto the back burner, but I did get about half of the Ruskies done, except that they were the Elite figures. I still have the Alsop figures. Now that I'm going with a 1:10 ratio Russian army, these figures will get new life as my new Russian army (I sold the old one). With all of the cavalry that I want to do, I am getting close to your 1,200 figure. Two years sounds about right. Good luck on your project.Der Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486634797266444464.post-16896613402328056042009-10-27T04:14:01.705+00:002009-10-27T04:14:01.705+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722917338057315894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486634797266444464.post-12279079899065464312009-10-27T00:36:46.476+00:002009-10-27T00:36:46.476+00:00An "initial" order of 1,200 figures - go...An "initial" order of 1,200 figures - good lord man that's a lot of lead.

However, what I've managed so far this year (10 months), is about 550 pieces, and thats with a 3 month period of painting nothing at all, so on that evidence it's do-able. The important thing is to retain the impetous, and not get distracted.Chris Cornwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00266210916076524044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486634797266444464.post-68218235789146337472009-10-26T19:27:52.654+00:002009-10-26T19:27:52.654+00:00Hang on a minute - 1200 figures over two years is ...Hang on a minute - 1200 figures over two years is (er... um) at least 2 figures painted every single day.
