Painting Wargames Figures

I don't know why I haven't seen this blog before but it is excellent - especially the SYW pages.  I was initially drawn to it by the portraits of mid eighteenth century Hanoverian officers but soon found myself appreciating the figures - especially the French which uses the Black Hussar Miniatures - IMHO the best French SYW on the market in this scale. He also has some pretty good 40mms to check out.
