Here , along the lines of what I did on my holidays post is a round up of what I have painted while working in Jamaica :
Four units of French line infantry
One unit of French dragoons
One unit of confederation of the Rhine Reuss infantry
Two units of Hungarian infantry
Three units of Austrian infantry
One unit of Austrian cuirassiers
All together now
Boxed and ready for a trip across the Atlantic! Looks like two of Norms pocket armies with the addition of command and artillery, I'll flock and flag them when I'm home.
Pretty happy with what I've got done in three months away, it brings my Napoleonic year total up to 312 which I'm happy with I've got another French line unit almost completed at home and a unit of hussars that are half done so I think I'll make my 400 Napoleonic figures target this year at least!
All made it across the pond in one piece, although the black and white spilled it didn't get on the boxer shorts or the flag bearers of the two cavalry units it was travelling with, I'll tape them up with masking tape for long journeys in the future!
All the best

A very impressive output Iain, whether at home or away as in this case:)! Let's hope they all arrive back safe and sound. I always taped my paints, even when bringing them back from town on my bike whilst in the rucksack, just to be safe!
ReplyDeleteThey all made it back in one piece, I will definitely be taping my bigger pots in future, as they're repurposed chewing gum pots I've decanted larger amounts of acrylic paint into!

That is a very productive three months Iain, and good to hear they made the journey home safely, even with the mishap of the paint.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Dave!

What a lovely shot in the arm for the collection - a very productive 3 months.
ReplyDeleteYes , a very productive three months, nice to hear from you Norm!

Very impressive and productive "holiday" output, Iain! Did you consider setting this presentation to a reggae beat?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan, not really a holiday but you know what I mean! Need a little rest from reggae for now!
DeleteBest Iain
Fantastic collection!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Michal!

Awesome work by you Iain, your painted units look great!! well done sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Phil, I'm definitely doing another landwehr unit like yours!
DeleteBest Iain
Great! looking forward to your finish painted Landwehr unit(s)
Deletecheers!
Excellent productivity, especially for being away. What bvroughtb you to Jamaica for business?
ReplyDeleteThe CoR unit is - Reuss?
Thanks Peter, I'm a supervising art director for film and TV, so it was a production I started in Bristol in September, we shot Bristol locations and interiors and then I came out to do the exteriors in Jamaica. The CoR unit is Reuss, yes!
DeleteBest Iain
You don't know Nick Palmer or Mike Stallion by any chance Iain, who are both in similar roles I believe? It's just that we were on the same course together at Uni some 40 years ago. Ditto Jacquie Fowler, hair and make up, who won a BAFTA?
DeleteHi Steve, no I don't, not that surprising as there's usually only one supervising art director on a project, yes art college was about 40 years ago for me too!
DeleteBest Iain
Super collection. They look awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Richard, very happy with them!
DeleteBest Iain
Great work Iain, and very productive. Good to see you making the most of your time away from home.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Lawrence!
DeleteBest Iain
Wow, that's quite a lot of minis, I'm truly impressed!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Suber!
DeleteBest Iain
A splendid parade Iain…
ReplyDeleteYou have put together a lovely intercontinental wargames force…
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly, I do like " intercontinental wargames force"!
DeleteBest Iain
A super parade and shows them off very nicely, impressive tally of figure in three months, you must be well chuffed.
ReplyDeleteYes, very happy with them!
DeleteBest Iain
Looking at everything you have painted whilst in the Caribbean, I am surprised you found any time to work, Iain!
ReplyDeleteTen to eleven hour days and six day weeks by the end, I guess I didn't have much else to do? Thanks Keith!
DeleteBest Iain
Very Productive! Would be happy to get that amount done in a year.
ReplyDeleteAre you SURE you did any work? A painting holiday? 😁
Removed from a home environment, it's possible to be more productive, clearly eliminating your family is helpful for wargames production!?
DeleteBest Iain
I agree, the amount and quality of painting shown here is impressive! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Fitz!
DeleteBest Iain
WOW!! That is impressive!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Tim!
DeleteBest Iain
Very impressive ! Good job getting so much done while sunning yourself in Jamaica, Iain!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Ray!
DeleteBest Iain
That's really amazing, you painting up so much figures (lovely too), on a cross-Atlantic venture, and then making it back home without issues. Very impressive!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Dean!
DeleteBest Iain
Impressive Iain and a really focussed painting output. Perhaps I need a long holiday away ?
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt, I've been on holiday for a week and haven't picked up a paint brush!
DeleteBest Iain
Great work Iain! I hope your troops don't succumb to the same diseases as European troops traditionally did around the Caribbean or they will be much depleted by arrival home! I can think of worse places to paint - looks like you have made some great progress in finishing those. Best wishes, Jason
ReplyDeleteThanks Jason, even better I didn't go down with some sort of fever!
