On the painting blocks

It’s cooled down a bit, so I got on with undercoating the figures I have finished assembling. This prompted me to take stock and make a plan for finishing some command groups.

With 73 figures either undercoated, part-painted, or nearing completion, my polystyrene blocks are full.

I have undercoated half of the Flower of Craven (mounted and unmounted), and I need to finish Margaret of Anjou and the Prince of Wales command groups to make room for the remainder.

This will leave finishing off Hastings’ retinue as the main task.
