Generals

While it has been a busy week on the painting table, not much has been completed due to the fact that I mis-ordered six figures and without those six I can’t finish off two units if French Revolutionary infantry.

So all there is to show for my busy week is a pair of British Crimean generals, a Union and a Confederate general.

The Crimean generals below are the General Cathcart and Staff Officer set from the Great War range. Staff officer has been converted into a senior officer with a new head on which I placed the cocked hat. The right arm that was originally holding the cocked hat was replaced by one from a Perry’s plastic ACW set.



The Civil War generals are from the Perry Battle in a Box set.

  1. Nice work on these senior officers Mark. I assume the ACW gentlemen are for actual use and not part of your experimental range, given they have fully completed basing?

    1. They are a part of the project, but I don’t anticipate the bases of the generals changing.

  2. Fine work on these generals, love the pose of the Confederate...and each of your bases!

    1. Thank you Phil...the general figure comes with three arm variants and four hats. Plus arms from other sets can be used, so there is the potential for much variation.

    1. Thanks. The simple nature of their uniforms demands a bit of variety in the basing to lift the figures.

  5. Very nice Mark. Nothing worse than having a nearly-completed unit in the queue and then having to await the delivery of a handful of figures.

    1. Agree and all because I typed ...22 instead of 21!
