I am certainly finding the AWI figures slightly slower than ACW , so I am mixing them with other figures. But hot off the painting desk a Virginia Line Regiment.
Perry plastic range and I have included a couple of hunting shirts to break the uniformity.
We also managed to get out for a walk/hike this weekend not too far from home in the Fells around Ullswater the autumnal colours are amazing at the moment, cloud base was fairly low
This was the second small summit, the shot shows the atmospheric low cloud which was swirling around all morning
Finally I treated myself to a parade shot of the Continentals so far, happy with the progress although they do feel rather rag-tag at the moment so I might do a more formal unit next. Both forces also need some artillery?
The AWI collection is coming along nicely. Perry Miniatures have some nice artillery choices I've found. Thanks for the uplifting pictures from your hike too, it all helps in these strange times.
ReplyDeleteThanks David...the lead pile has several guns awaiting attention !
DeleteYou are really turning stuff out at the moment. Ullswater looks fab
ReplyDeleteCheers Martin....little and often. We were lucky with the weather on Saturday and the colours were amazing
DeleteYour AWI project is developing nicely. Photos from your local hike are spectacular. You live among inspiring scenery.
ReplyDeleteSlowly taking shape and will achieve my goal of getting a battle before Christmas 🙂
DeleteSplendid AWI figures...and beautiful walking pictures as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil....I am lucky with where we live
DeleteLovely looking AWI troops, aren't they meant to look rag tag, they are after all only colonials! Terrific terrain shots, it all looks very nice, if a trifle damp and possibly cold?
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Yes rag tag seems to be the early AWI continentals so I am achieving that look at least. The red coats on the other hand are very smart.
DeleteSplendid addition to the collection, like the lakes shot hopeing to pop to them tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThanks and hope the weather holds for you, you never can tell ?
DeleteAh, lovely looking!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal 👍
DeleteThanks Neil, the project is getting to a proper working force now
ReplyDeleteNice job! And the parade will help keep up the momentum. I just last night returned to painting up AWI figures after some terrain so your post is good motivation and relevant to me. 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks....a parade every now and then is indeed good motivation. Look forward to seeing your figures 👍
DeleteLovely; both figures and scenery!
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
Thanks James I can take credit for the figures but the views are mother nature🙂
DeleteReally impressive looking unit, Matt. I've shied away from AWI because of the wide variety of "uniforms"; you've captured the look perfectly.
ReplyDeleteVery kind Dean, the variation in colour does add some variety, although in reality I suspect they were mainly brown at a distance. The uniforms do have a challenge although not as bad as Napoleonics ! and you have done lots of those👍
