 Sri Lanka Progress report


Following my last report about the packaging and posting off of some 1100 items to Sri Lanka, I thought it was a good time to keep you updated about the little chaps progress.


Fernando Enterprises unpack and checked our parcel against the enclosed packaging list. They report any damage or discrepancy in number of items. 

We had sent 35 Items, typically a battalion, cavalry regiment etc. Within each Item we send off uniform and painting details for sub types ie. officers, musicians, NCOs etc. Chris even sent off painted samples!

Once the differing figures are allotted to one of Fernando's artists I was sent a front and rear photograph of each unit figure type for proof checking.

We had very few misinterpreted uniform details and these were quickly amended and a photograph of the redone figure sent for checking. Great work indeed.


Here are a selection of the sample pics.





Chris' Haitian period with mutineers and regulars







My Seven Years War Prussians




Dave's French Napoleonic figures

They're certainly getting through the large number of figures swiftly and we're really pleased with the quality of the painting they're doing.

I will update everyone once they're back here and we have the fun in unpacking the box. 
Can't wait.

  1. The painting standard is very good Paul. I especially like the SYW and Haiti figures. So will you gloss varnish or leave them matt? Its amazing what tiny children can produce. Still it could be worse, they could be going up chimneys. If you had waited I hope to be back in Sri Lanka early next year.
