Danger-Ross does AWI

[Bill Braham]

Very fine work. I particularly like the way that you have 'imagineered' some of the flags for the rebels rather than opt for the boring old (and wrong) 'Betsy Ross' flag. Nice also to see the KRRNY depicted in green faced blue. Keep up the good work and good luck with job hunting!

Trees look great to me

right then folks, another wee update here. last night I managed to convert some casualties for the Native units. had some green stuff lying around from years ago, I never did much sculpting, and working with such small amounts of material was a challenge, but with some fiddling and creative swearing I managed to create two passable native casualties.
So here are some pics of the completed unit with the casualty marker.










Ok now some detail shots of the casualties, first lad has just had the detail on the hunting shirt filed away a bit, and some hair extensions.





The second fig was a bit more work, sculpted on the loin cloth, and bulked out the trousers to make them look like leggings, as well as giving him booty kind of things. Also did the hair extensions again. Bit of file work on the chest to get rid of the button holes on the shirt. Also this photo is not the best, but this guy is not wearing a red beanie, the warpaint is red on the top half of the face and black on the bottom.



As always constructive criticism welcome.

Looked at pictures first before I read that you had made conversions on the casualties with a bit of green stuff. Could not tell! Well done.

Very nice indeed

Great conversions on the casualties

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Superb

Those Indian casualties are a real work of art. Will we see a casualty category in next year's competition?

[paulr]

At the rate the entries are going we need a category for AWI

Excellent work!

Very impressive armies, are you going to use Black Powder rules?  Their Rebellion supplement is very good.

This period is on 'to do' list lol

Firstly apologies for no update for a while, was waiting for an order to arrive and was then away at the weekend, have under-coated some cavalry so should hopefully get some photos of those up soon.

Excellent work!

Glad you like the figures. Yes these are going to be used with Black powder. I agree the Rebellion supplement is excellent, a real 'must have' for anyone doing the period I feel. I acctually wanted to do an in depth review of it one day as to why it was such a good supplement, and how it is a much stronger supplement than 'last argument of kings'. However to do it properly would probably mean doing a Youtube review comparing the two works, as there is no way I could be bothered to type it all up!

Right then folks, apologies for the delay in getting an update done.

A few photos here, first up the 3rd Continental Light Dragoons, there will be 15 figs in the full unit, but only got 10 finished so far:





And also have completed some Royal artillery lads with their 6 pounder:





Hope you enjoy!

After these units then it is on to the 17th Light Dragoons for the Brits, then after that will be making an order for the rest of the figs needs to meet the original goal of the project. So 3 battalions worth of Hessians, finish up two battalions worth of militia to make 3 complete battalions. Then 3 more UK line battalions, plus a few more casualties and mounted generals. Not sure how the 4th of July deadline will hold up, but I shall give it a good go!

In other news the job search continues to frustrate, if anyone here has any links to political risk assessment, military analysis, regional security analysis, counter-terrorism, counter-insurgency or anything else within that sphere do give us a shout. In terms of qualifications I hold a Distinction at MA level in Security, Terrorism and Insurgency, and a 2:1 in International Relations and Russian at undergrad. (my Russian is not that great though, but my German is ok.)

That probably flies in the face of forum rules, but you never know who is out there. 
Also please no-one recommend joining the Army, have already tried that, twice, but my dodgy ears had me rumbled.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Lovely work!

[Techno]

Seconded !

Cheers - Phil.

Wonderful work and love that you have done the cavalry standard that was made out of a pair of curtains (or chair backing depending on which legend you believe) for the 3rd. Sewn by the fair hands of William Washington's fiancee.

Good spot, unfortunately when I printed the flag out the pattern in the centre didn't really come out so well, but I'm not hugely fussed about it really, as any attempt to paint it on would have probably come out looking mental.  Also I hope the Officer in question brought his Mrs' some new curtains/ chair once the war was over. But then if he did the resulting arguments over colour and design probably resulted in divorce.

Some lovely stuff there and I do like the horses.
