Paul’s AWI project

[paulr]

Weather was kind and I managed to get some pictures of my last of my AWI before focusing on WWI.

1^st Battalion, 71^st Foot





2^nd Battalion, 71^st Foot





Regiment von Bose





Sun was setting when I got a chance to take these so lighting not as good as I would like 

Also I have had to replace my old PC and don't have Lightroom on my new Laptop yet so post processing isn't as good as I would like either

Up to your usual excellent standard, Paul. Well worth waiting for.

One more batch of Peter's WWI and then I will be back to this project.

I can hear the American Militia calling 

[Leman]

Looking really good.

Finished painting Peter's WWI, just basing of last batch left to do, so ...

Sorted out 6 battalions of American Milita, 96 figures to paint before our next order arrives. (With my Sinai 1917 and I believe a few top up WWI figues for Peter) 

This will be the third, and largest, of the four American Militia brigades I plan to do. I also have one brigade of Loyalist Militia planned.

I will hopefully get these undercoated this weekend

A lot of posts to read on the forum this morning (NZ time) so didn't get a chance to update before I had to get off my train. This forum certainly makes my 40 minute train commute go quickly
