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!

An obscure period of US history, for sure, but who doesn't love a tarleton? Are natives in 20mm being sculpted too?
ReplyDeleteNice brushwork.
I have 144 natives ready for priming!
DeleteLook very fine to me,but the prospect of a few hundred would be off putting.
ReplyDeleteOh, they paint up very easily.
DeleteUnique period and scale.....blast from the past with the Frying Pan and Blanket minis. I think I painted some of their 20mm AWI back in the day.
ReplyDeleteI am pleasantly surprised by the sculpting quality. These are very nice.
DeleteI don't know that I have any interest in the Indian Wars of the 1790s, but these figures really appeal to me.
