War of 1812 for the Sculptor!

 Jon Grossman sculpted the excellent line of 1812 figures now owned by Bill Hupp. I was thrilled when Jon reached out and asked me to paint a couple of units for him. This is an honor indeed!

The unit Jon chose is the Maryland Militia. The assignment was to match the style and colors of his existing collection. You can see Jon's original figure based singly with the command figures.
