The weekend saw the completion of the mounted officers for the American AWI collection. There are six figures in this set.
I decided to use four figures as brigadiers and the two in the as the higher command. The rather ‘robust’ chap on the white horse will be the brigadier for the New Hampshire regiments, hence the green coat.
And the higher command.
Next, some AWI guns.
Great work on some lovely figures Mark. The two in the first picture are really good poses.
ReplyDeleteYes I could imagine him calling out “forward Virginia!”, in a wonderful southern drawl, while the chap in green seems a bit more like a Captain Mainwaring.
DeleteFine work there Mark and my favourite is the 'robust' chap, as he looks like a bit of a plodder and in no hurry to do anything, other than to have lunch:)!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve…and I bet his favourite saying is “…you see son, slow and steady wins the race!”
DeleteMore nice work Mark
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith, perhaps the game after next needs to be an AWI game,
DeleteVery nice Mark…
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the chap who ate all of Mum’s Apple Pies…
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly. I can just see him sitting back in his chair with a satisfied smile and drumming his fingers on his tummy!
DeleteGreat looking and very characterful American command!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain…they certainly make an interesting group of chaps.
DeleteGreat brushwork and an eye towards some attitude on a stand. I will admit to a favorite in the group .
DeleteThanks Joe.
DeleteAWI officers really do get some good uniforms. They all probably really helped keeping tailors employed during the war. 😀
ReplyDeleteThe did indeed. I suspect that the seamstresses of the 18th century were rarely short of work.
