Lady Butler's Scotland Forever

Due to the massive effort to implement the Central Planning Commission's Nine-Month Plan for the Uplifting of the Prussian Kingdom and Victorious End of the Befreiungskrieg, the Live-in Painting Assistant currently has 44 horses of the Von Roder's I Corps Reserve Cavalry on the table, which fortuitously allowed the prototyping of various Greys (also here, and here).

For June the Live-in Painting Assistant and I did not quite hit our target 22.6 figures.  Total that passed final inspection and sealed was 18 figures, including the F/6th Line and 6 of 8 figures for the 6th Uhlans.
