Great day at Salute, good to see so many like minded folk. Received this excellent introduction to the Italian Wars from the wonderful Charles Singleton at #helionbooks which has loads of pictures of my stuff! Also has a top notch painting guide from the master of the period, Stuart Mulligan

Myself and @whcmark.bsky.social have been asked to help provide some photos for a forthcoming book on the Italian Wars. A very busy day has been spent setting up and snapping.
Here’s a little teaser: 1 of about 100 pictures we took.

GdA2 handled Borodino very well- a tough, suitably brutal struggle. The French managed limited success, breaking the Russian line south of the Grand Redoubt, but lacked the reserves to exploit. Both armies were pretty spent. A great weekend.

Nearly 5 years ago I painted the first unit for the Italian Wars-a Swiss pike block from Uri. Still my favourite unit even after another 2,000 figures for the period

Occasionally I can be tempted for a commission. Finished these SteelFist gendarmes today. Client is doing his own basing, which leaves me feeling in a very small way that they not finished.

Had a great day at Warfare for the #tothestrongest competition.
When I say great, I mean I played 4 exciting games with 4 excellent opponents who were a joy to play with… and lost 3 out of the 4….😂

I don’t think so…he dies too much.
