20mm Wayne's Legion: US Artillery

Today I finished basing up these 2 guns, 12 crew, and 2 horses.  Once again, I am impressed by the quality of these sculpts!




Next week I should have some pictures of the US infantry.

New Commission - 20mm Wayne's Legion and Native Confederation

I'm pretty excited to tackle this project!  Bill Hupp, the owner of Thistle and Rose Miniatures, sent a few hundred figures for me to paint.  I will readily admit to knowing very little about the American Legion of the 1790s, but I have read a couple of books on the Wabash and Fallen Timbers.

These 20mm figures were originally found in the Frying Pan and Blanket line.  They are older sculpts, but they look great!  I spent Monday and Tuesday prepping and priming the Americans.  Today I was able to finish my prototype paint job.  If Bill approves of the color scheme, I will start on the assembly line.


What do you think, blog buddies?  It's an obscure period, but I think these armies should turn out great!

28mm Colonials

My friend Kevin has an amazing collection for fighting 19th century battles in India.  Recently he asked me to paint some reinforcements for him.


Commanders





Muslim Militia





Sikhs





Egyptian Regulars






British Reserve Infantry






Maratha Lancers



One thing I really enjoy about painting for Kevin is that he forces me to leave my comfort zone.  He never wants Napoleonic French or ACW Union.  I always get to paint something new and exciting!
