Nice work there, hopefully we might see these in the Painting Comp come February!

I will probably hold off with any pics for a couple of weeks 

Worked out my next batch (80 Infantry, 9 Officers); if I do 5th Virginia Continentals, 33rd Foot and some British officers I will have a couple of nice small forces.

British 2 battalions of Foot, 1 battalion of Hessian Jagers and 4 troops of British Legion Dragoons
American 7 battalions of Militia, 1 Continental regiment, 1 Rifle battalion, 1 infantry battalion and 2 troops of Lee's Legion

Will be good to have enough for a game. I should even have them done in time for the 233^rd anniversary of Guilford Courthouse on 15^th March. Which is a Saturday ... I feel a cunning plan developing 

Definitely sounding like a plan!

Next batch (80 Infantry, 9 Officers) undercoated and started on 5th Virginia Continentals coats and British officers' horses.

I'm surprised how little coat there is to paint on AWA23 Continental's, 1779 Reg's, marching. Lots of small clothes, facing, cuffs, turn backs and pack but very little actual coat 

Nice figures with enough variety, with some AWA24 Continental's, 1779 Reg's, hunting shirts, marching added, will give a more regular appearance with out all being the same 

I do think they are superb and painting mine was a joy.

I strongly suspect I will also enjoy painting them, lots of scope for highlighting the small clothes and the pack as well as the coat 

I've just noticed there have been over a thousand views on this diary      

Not bad for 83 posts!
Quality keeps people coming back.
That's why my threads never go very far...

Join the club, Lemmey. The Short Posts Club - has a certain ring to it. 

Time to post some photos of the officers I painted. The infantry will have to wait till February, and a different thread  

If I get the links to photobucket right...

Brigadier General Morgan and Major General Greene



Brigadier Generals Lawson & Eaton, Militia commanders



Lt Colonel Hawes, Colonel Green & Brigadier General Huger of the Virginia Continentals



Lt Colonel Ford, Colonel Gunby & Colonel Williams of the Maryland Continentals

Current batch (80 Infantry, 9 Officers) making good progress, bags & muskets to do then on to flesh tones...

I may even get them finished in time to include in an army entry in the Painting Competition 

Those are beautiful!  

VERY nice indeed ! 
Cheers - Phil.

Very nicely done 

Really nice, looking forward to seeing the infantry,
