Geez, I feel like one of those bloggers - "I know it has been a long time, blah, blah blah." and I realise I am one of those bloggers. This reminds me of one time when I was a lad and my roommate had a bit too much one night. He grabbed a roll of toilet paper on the way to the bathroom and dropped it, but held on to the end of the roll. For some reason he thought pulling on the end would make the roll come to him - it just kept moving away. That is like where my time has gone of late, but I have been busy.
So, the manuscript is 98% done, the black and white illustrations are ready and finished writing the text to accompany the color illustrations. I am now starting to work on the artist notes so you will all have excellent pictures that Osprey books are known for. There is a limit to the amount of original art these books can contain so we all have to just deal with it. That said, I am going for a broad spectrum of normal (lancers and infantry), different (Bar Confederates) and exotic (Janissaries). I'm sure I will go back to add more information post-publication, but that is a project for another day. My initial plan is to create additional info as a pdf to download.
On a different note I have done some quick uniform guides for Warlord Games dealing with Polish World War II and Prussian Landwehr (not related, but both of interest to me). Check out their website, all sorts of goodies and great miniatures. If I can only convince them or the Perry's to do miniatures on this period my work will be done - for now.
I have procured some great material of late. Gembarzewski's 2 volume work Wojsko Polskie 1807 - 1830 as well a Morawski's illustrated book on the Legions - always planning ahead.
