Hi,

A little slower this week as work's been manic. So far finished the first Continetal 6lb'er






2 more guns to come, hopefully before the end of the week; a Militia manned stolen British gun and a French crewed 6lb'er.

Cheers, Craig

That is lovely!

Beautifully done Craig . I'm afraid my forces are unlikely to look as nice as yours on the table .

Superb Craig

Super, Craig. But tell the guy with the raised hand he's about to get his toes crushed when the gun recoils. 

[TinyTerrain]

Artistic licence. Thats why he's got his hand raised, he is actually shouting "DONT DO IT"

Cheers, Craig

Qu'est que c'est?  Ce n'est pas un Canon 550D, je crois, mai un canon de 6 livres!  Or words to that effect.  Fabulous work

Week 5 - American Artillery finished, 3 guns (1 Continental Army, 1 French and 1 stolen piece manned by Militia). All yet to be varnished, but not in this weather!









This weeks unit will a contingent from Kirkwood's Delaware Battalion (light infantry skirmishing), complete with blue striped trousers if I feel cocky

Week 6 - The Delaware BlueJays Completed









So the first of the American's irregular troops are finished. A slight change of plan in terms of how they were going to be painted because when I looked at the miniatures they had very cool tassled jackets which I just had to have a proper crack at.  For those of you who are interested in how I painted these I did a step by step painting guide on my new 10mm AWI Blog, which can be read here:

All comments and crits very welcome as usual,

Cheers, Craig
