Work starts on second batch!

Hello.

Last summer, when on the baccus forum, Ruarigh announced the Towton project.  I was very keen to get involved, initially planning to add a contingent of my own to this great project, until i checked the dates.....

Unfortunately, being in Germany and with a very busy year in 2011, i realised i wouldnt be able to attend.  I did however offer to paint some of his "soon to be" massive collection.

So far ive painted two contingents for him, which can be viewed here on this blog.  I started painting the next batch today, after getting into the period itself and reading up on the battle.

So, a couple of weeks ago i recieved another parcel, containing a small lead mountain,  seen here on the left.

4 contingents in all, each containing 4 units.  I hope to have them painted fairly soon, but with a trip to the falklands and some time in wales coming up, it may take longer than id hoped.

I made a start today, and in the space of a mere 3 hours managed to get a complete contingent painted!!

Sir Edward Brooke of Holditch, 6th Lord Cobham, and his men.

I will post updates as and when i can, and as soon as they are all done, they will be in the post to sunny Yorkshire.  For banners and basing, thats Ruariagh's job!

Cheers

Steve
