Just a quick post today.
Incremental progress as I switch back-and-forth between AWI and LOTR work. I've made a little more progress on the crown forces for Guilford Courthouse.
First up is the Hessian regiment Von Bose.
In the same brigade with the Von Bose regiment is the 71th Highlanders.
I'm really happy with both units (28mm Perry Miniatures). I'm continuing my progress on the crown forces with more British foot units forthcoming. I also have to paint up some artillery which I hope to do soon.
Great work! My AWI Germans are all Perry too. Superb figures.
ReplyDeleteLove Perry Miniatures, best of the best.
DeleteBoth units are sweet, but the von Bose I really like. Nice work on tartans as well, not a fun painting thing to do.

Agree, can't go wrong with Hessians and Highlanders :-)
DeleteFantastic stuff Jay! You've done a great job on the flags too 😀
ReplyDeleteAre you using tin foil in between the paper to help with the "waving" effect?
Heya Ivor! For ghe flags, just paper and white glue. I get it first wrapped around tge pole and stuck together flat/lined up. Then I usethe handle of a paint brush and wrap the flag around it to get the curves. A little bit of manipulation with my big fat fingers finishes it off.
DeleteSuperb units, Jay!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :-)
