NQSYW - An Afternoon Casting
I had painted all the 40mm figures that I had cast. The weather was going to be 65 and sunny, perfect day for casting some figures for winter painting.
I recently bought another infantry mold, in a slightly different pose. That one and my regular infantry figure were both casting well today. I got 2 full companies of infantry, and a company of light infantry. Actually, I just clipped the bayonets from 12 regular infantry and will paint them in dark green.
With command figures, it all came to 51 foot.
I also tried again to cast cavalry. I thought I was doing well, until I went to cut the sprue metal off of them. All but five had the swords break off. Oh well, I will try that again.
All in all, a great day casting.
This will give me the final company for my regiment, and a light company. I now also have an extra company of infantry, which will get painted with a different coat color, as I plan to start doing a second army.

More Ships
I have built two more ships. This is the original one, plus another small one, and a 10 gun brig. I still have to figure out how to do the sails, and at some point I need to bite the bullet and order a ton of cannons. I plan to do another 10 gun brig, two more small ones, and about 6 more either 6 or 8 guns ships. I have 4 more in process.
When I cut the hulls for the next ship, I will see if I can do a tutorial on how I build them. I pretty much have the process down now.
