Galloping Major WIP
« on: July 19, 2018, 10:28:08 PM »
This is a WIP that I am working on. It will eventually show the Militia figures firing behind the fence, that will be covered by wild, overgrown thicket.
The figures are from the great Galloping Major settlers series. These are perfect for either F&I War or early AWI. These guys could be repelling an Indian attack or firing at the British, on that long road back to Boston.

The fencing stared life as a Lemax fence. I reworked it to look more weather-beaten. I still need to carve the ends of some of the planks that look to square for the period.

The bushes have been made and will be added after the groundwork is done.
The third picture will give you an idea of what it will finally look like.

Over on the Big Battalions Board, I have posted several articles and tutorials on how I make thicket.
Here are some examples of how it looks.
