"Only 9 stands to go", LOL!No I'm not regretting my choice of going for the Infantry Battalion because that will without doubt be the most fun and all-round force to play with. And I have always been an “infantry” player regardless of game, I collected Empire for WHFB and Imperial Guard for WH40k back in the days, and painted 5 platoons for Secrets of the Third Reich in recent times.
I will just have to take my time, assembling one platoon at a time to retain my morale and mental harmony, and paint them in parts of 3-5 stands at a time. I really hate painting an entire unit at the same time, painting boots for 5 hours one day and belt buckles for 5 hours the next day. I do prefer to have something completed at the end of my painting session to feel some sort of satisfaction.
I won't spam with more pictures of the 15mm Polish infantry until I get the entire platoon painted.
Btw, that light mortar is made out of two trimmed toothpicks. I was considering using my leftover medium mortars - but then only 2 out of 3 platoons would have the same kind of mortar. And those medium mortars are quite big as well. No one will notice the toothpick-mortars for what they are at this tabletop level anyway.
What really bothered me today was the worn out "detail brushes" I have at home, slows things down and makes it harder to paint. I was buying painting supplies yesterday but the store where I usually buy my brushes were all out of the kind I like. Will check with them again tomorrow, will be crucial with some commission painting around the corner.
