2nd Seminole War
« on: May 21, 2016, 02:58:07 PM »
I'm unsure if this is the proper board for this posting.  It certainly is not "The Old West".  It's not quite "Colonial".  So if it is miss categorized I apologize.

At the urging of a gaming buddy, I started a "side period" project of the 2nd Seminole War. I decided that I would try to drum up (no pun intended) interest in my other gaming buddies with a short video. Apparently the video is too large for posting here, so I have posted a few stills.  The Seminole figures are newly painted and as of yet, the bases are unfinished.

Certainly reminds me of the Jungle Cruise at Disney World! Perfect!

Couldn't be easier Joe....just my regular table, terrain cloth with a roll of green cellophane over the top.  I've done the same for more costal areas with blue cellophane.  I think it gives a nice illusion of depth.  Dang...now I gave away my deepest held secret!

who made them?
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Super great work!  Would you care to share/post this on the Yahoo group that covers the Seminole Wars?

https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Moccasins/info

I also have a bit of a Second Seminole War project going on my blog, although I am nowhere near as far along as you are!

Thanks for the request for more photos...

This first one is a indiscriminate swamp lurker.  The US has to watch their step.  (it's an old Airfix figure I have had for 40 years just laying around waiting for some purpose).
