Back in action

Apologies for the recent lack of posts. I had a hernia operation yesterday and I will be laid up for about 8 weeks so I have been trying to get the garden in order and all heavy lifting duties covered.
Today,  in a bit of pain but managed to do an hour on my 40mm collection.
I have started another French cavalry regiment, heavy cavalry regiment Noailles, which featured prominently in many of the western theatre battles, and should add a nice contrast in colour to the French army. One good point about the hernia op is that I should have lots of modelling and painting time over the next few months, and with Blogger much the same format for the time being, I will try and make regular posts.

    Best wishes for a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing the results of your forced recuperation. The cavalry have a bit of character about them - why brand are they? Cheers Greg

    Nice uniform, they will look very nice en-masse. Speedy recovery wishes to you and hopefully not too much pain! Good chance for you to devote your time to hobby time and no guilt!
