War of the Roses (project)
Half of the archers needed rebasing from fast to solid formations. Bases for 16 elements will be covered this afternoon. Tomorrow will be devoted to repainting, touch ups and highlighting. Certainly by week’s end, these will be done. Paint work is delayed so as to take advantage of the momentum made reorganising and rebasing. The bases of 20 blade are covered with Milliput. Today, the artillery, cavalry and optional elements.

War of the Roses (project)
Two of the four English armies have been renovated. On completion, I will paint flags for the two factions.

War of the Roses (project)
Two of the four English armies have been renovated. On completion, I will paint flags for the two factions. A milestone has been reached, the refurbishment of 4 commands. Sand/white glue, flocking and tufts will follow in a day or two. Now, come the standards and banners that will need painting. The internet has a lot of examples as does the game Kingmaker. This might take the better part of a week, but the end is near.

Timurilank, that is fast work, standards and banners in a week! I am retired now, but doubt I could do all that you have planned in a week! All power to your paintbrush and 'gardening' (sorry terrain sculpting) skills, CarlL

WOTR - Refurbishing the collection I have posted photos of the English armies and a brief text. Standards are sketched and painting will begin tomorrow. After completing the English armies, the project will continue with an upgrade of the French Ordonnance of 24 elements. dbagora.blogspot.com/2024/06/refurbishing-collection.html

WOW! timurilank, A big project, but already giving you lots of progress. Look beautiful too. I look forward to your future progress. Thanks for sharing link to your blog and photos here. The re-based figures look really grand.

The re-based figures look really grand. CarlL CarlL, Thank you for the kind words. My regular opponent Jan, would like a WOTR for our next game. However, the project must be finished before that happens. At my current pace, that should be near the end of the Fall season. I have ordered wheeled artillery from Old Glory UK for the Italians. The extra gun crew will man an organ gun (to be scratch built). This will bring the project to the Italian Wars. And Italian style townhouses have been added to the project list. As you see, there will be plenty more to be done.

...there is an organ gun in the Essex range: MFPE5 Organ gun... I am aware of that and Old Glory offer organ guns as well. However, with the latest order, there will be extra gunners. Scratch building takes less time than an order clearing customs.

I don't know if it would help, but I just saw that Alternative Armies also has an organ gun. MRX23

Thank you for the suggestion. All that is required is in stock; extra limbers (wheels), brass tubing, wire and card stock. The work bench cleared, good music in the background, two organ guns could be made in an hour. With extra civilian figures I can crew the second gun.

WOTR project.
I have 43 standards and banners sketched and ready to be painted, however, Mortimer’s Cross will require more.
Placing this aside, I decided to refurbish the next army on the project list, the French Ordonnance.
The bases of 23 French elements are covered with Milliput. The missing element of French artillery (culverin) will be arriving soon, along with other packs of Old Glory.

War of the Roses - project
The bases for both double size French and Burgundian Ordonnance are done and flocked.
The figures require little or no repainting, seems this had been done earlier but I cannot recall when.
Flags are a different story, these will need polishing.
