Quick Update

Work has been slow on the miniatures.  I am trying to sell my house and that has got in the way of things.  On the bright side my cards I had printed up for Piquet have arrived and they look pretty good.  One card didn't turn out so well but that's ok.  I will take some pics and post them as soon as I can.  I am working on the characterization deck now.  I am also in the works of trying to save up for an automated cutter, this will make my life 10x easier.  It will make cutting out hundreds of paper minis a breeze.  Once the campaign begins I have a couple of ideas on how to tell the story.  I think I will have a couple of main characters from each side that I will try to form a narrative through.  The good thing about this blog and talking about my plans is it is keeping me motivated to finish the project.  On a side note I have ordered some Old Glory 2nd edition Union that I plan to paint up in preparation for Longstreet when that comes out.  I am going to have to do some conversion work to them.  Get rid of the knapsacks, no good soldier would go into battle with all that gear on their back.  Also since I am from Kentucky I'm going to make them look the part of a more proper Federal Western Volunteer.  No brass and a nice slouch hat!
