Thanks  :)

I’ve made progress with the painting though I still have staining to add, then the pond and vegetation.

So, as a taster of progress so far:

Great work. I think your online-game was inspiration, right? I startet with my 1672 from Northstar after watching the AAR from Richard

Thanks folks  :)

Dirk, this project dates from before the current online game but it was in large part inspired by Richard’s Bicorne-heavy ECW collection, which I’ve admired in the flesh. That and a visit this time last year to North Devon where I immersed myself in Lorna Doone.  8)

Sounds very interesting. I should get me a copy of the book. I think Richard will bring me to get Bicorne for my collection of ECW-Miniatures.

Thanks all

I think I’ve finished the painting now.

Just need to add the various flocks bits (including foliage to trees and bushes and veggies in the gardens) and varnish the pond













Thanks to all who have offered advice and suggestions  8)

Good grief, the last time I was here you were in Victorian England, now you've dropped back a couple of centuries, is there no end to your ambition,  :D these building look very very nice and well worth the return.

I remember your thatched cottages on the previous page, in fact I have them saved in my reference pictures as the 2nd best thatched cottages I've ever seen. Maybe 3rd now but still up there with the very best of them, and there's a lot of thatched cottages out there.

I was pointed to Cptn Bloods ECW internet game by my Devlam compatriots and am very taken by the Bicorne figures, I always find ECW shows so much promise in the clothing and the period history but have always found the games/battles less interesting and I think your idea of a small skirmish scale without pike blocks is the way to go.
Cheers

That's a superb layout and paint-job. Something to envy. I particularly liked the touch of the cobbled road fading out into the outer mud tracks/road.
