These Blue Moon limbers have been done for a while. This weekend I finished basing them.

A Little Diversion
While I wait for the basecoat on my commission to cure, I banged out a unit of Roman Legionaries today.
The figures are 28mm Old Glory. Yesterday I affixed the shields with five minute epoxy and got them all primed. Today I painted them all in a couple of hours.
Tomorrow it's back to War of 1812 in 20mm!

20mm War of 1812 First Phase Complete!
The first phase of Bill's Frying Pan & Blanket Amalgamated commission is based, sealed, and ready to pack for shipping! These 240 figures took about six weeks.

20mm War of 1812 American Regulars
The commission of Frying Pan and Blanket Amalgamated is coming along. I continue to be impressed with the quality of this line. Bill owns this figure line, so if you like the look, reach out to him to place an order!
The latest troops are these six regiments of US regulars. I had a lot of fun researching the uniforms. The supply issues that plagued the Continental Army were still present in 1812. The US army lacked domestic sources of textiles and dyes and had to make do with captured British stores. Just as in the early war, US regulars had varied colors of jackets and trousers.
The cast flags on these figures are a challenge to paint well, but I am happy with how they turned out.
