Typo there (just corrected) probably reflecting the fact I collected my wife from hospital earlier this evening, she is at start of recovery having had her left knee replaced yesterday afternoon. She is doing well mobility wise if still in much pain. Our combined 145 years doesn't lend itself to swift recovery from anything these days! So hope you fair better Greg / gregorius. CarlL Back home CarlL and already on the pain killers. Stitches come out in a week with swelling to subside over the next 2-3 weeks. Thanks for the encouraging posts. And best wishes for a speedy recovery for your wife. Cheers,

Was wondering if Wf(S) means Wife “superior” or Wife “solid”. You could get yourself in trouble there mate. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I've finally felt well enough to return to the brushes after my procedure. So today I was able to paint up 6 riders for 2 cavalry elements. Tomorrow I'll varnish the figures, glue them to their mounts and attach them to their bases. I might be able to paint up the riders for the next 3Cv element and the sole LH element. Time will tell.
Cheers,

Good news Greg. I hope the medics did a good job and your brush strokes ring true, or flow true to your intentions! All the best with your project CarlL

Cheers, Take your time with your recovery Gregorious, I found I was in a rush to get back on my feet after my first knee replacement and had a tougher recovery than I did with the second that I took at a more even pace...given that they were only 5 months apart I was still not fully recovered from the first one and has to adjust....but keeping myself busy painting or researching was a welcome distraction from the pain.....it also has had an effective reduction of my lead mountain.😆

However, thanks for your considerate response, it is much appreciated. Cheers,

Cheers, Well, today I completed 2x3Cv elements for my Fatimids. I'm unlikely to return to this project until next month as we have a trip to Sydney for a week followed a few days later with an excursion to Goulburn. So what is left to do? Riders for 1xLH, 2x3Cv and 1x3Cv (G), which I hope to have completed by mid July. Watch this space. Cheers,

It looks like the figures for the command element have scale armour, so I'm considering using a brass or copper hue. Cheers,

Cheers, Yesterday I was able to return to this project and successfully painted the figures for the last 3Cv element, as well as the 3Cv (G) element, and glue them to their bases. Today I applied goop, painted and drybrushed the bases, and glued down flocking. Once the flocking dries overnight i hope to photograph the army tomorrow. Cheers,
