Title: AWI Collection - occasional additions - UPDATE @ 22nd OCTOBER.
Post by: painterman on May 11, 2016, 10:17:00 PM: I've moved from my medieval homelands to the hinterland that is my AWI collection.
This was started when the Foundry range was launched and I recently decided to focus new units on the southern theatre of 1779-82. So next planned items are Loyalists and some terrain pieces. I'll post progress here, although this maybe somewhat sporadic - there are medieval figures half-finished on the desk, which keep catching my eye!
First up are 10 figures for DeLancey's Loyalists, with 8 more in prep stage. These are first Perry AWI plastics I've done - very detailed mouldings which are challenging when you want to get units done swiftly.

Here are some retro pics of mounted troops - Perry metals - the last ones I did about 18 months ago now. Picture quality for these is a bit poor, so apologies for that.

Thanks for looking, Simon.

Post by: grant on May 11, 2016, 11:41:34 PM: Really great work. I picked up the Rebellion book by Warlord for Black Powder, and have been drooling over the Perry minis.

The conundrum is that I don't do 28s, so all my terrain would be wrong, I would have to go all in! Darn you and your finely painted miniatures, sir! Darn you, I say!

I know exactly what you mean about detailed plastics - the bane of painting webbing, facings, and all those ruddy buttons!
So much easier and less fiddly with medievals 8)

Next unit will be from South Carolinas - either SC Royalists or Continental Line.

I'm also tackling figures for campsite vignette, one by one - first chap discussing tactics (or the price of tea?).

Post by: Captain Blood on May 21, 2016, 06:32:59 PM: Wonderful Simon. Love the vignette figure. What a great little character. The officer and the drummer are also particularly splendid.

I know what you mean about the bayonets... Having built a few of the new Britosh colonial infantry, the bayonets do look ever so fragile... ::)

Post by: Jeff965 on May 21, 2016, 09:29:12 PM: Lovely stuff Simon, I've got a box of these plastics somewhere up the man cave I'll have to keep this thread in mind when I eventually get to paint them.
Title: Re: AWI Collection - occasional additions - UPDATED 21-5-16
Post by: painterman on June 01, 2016, 09:37:30 PM: A little progress to report...
The campsite vignette have now become three, with others prepared. Those are plastics for South Carolina Royalists lurking in the background.

Am also starting a long intended house build - based loosely on the Yorktown Customs House - a superb model of which John Boadle did some years ago. I'm luck to have some castings of windows and doors from John to use on my efforts. Components and progress to date shown here - am going at snail pace as have some trepidation with scratched buildings (as I've never done one before!!). A card shell with embossed brick paper walls and cornice from dolls house supplier...will show more pics as I go.

Progress with the Yorktown Customs House.
I'm approaching this first house build with some trepidation and learning as I go along (the hard way).
Stone sheets attached to the house frame as well as the roof. I glues the stone sheet on 3 sides and then discovered that its got a self adhesive backing, so one side fits much better! hey ho. The stones have some texture to them, which you cannot see in the photo.
Next I think will be to add shingles to the roof- doors and windows will be last to glue on.

Post by: painterman on July 09, 2016, 01:07:37 PM: More progress on the brick house, following holiday hiatus.
Roof tiles added (Wild West Models shingles) which I'm very pleased with and recommend.
Walling and porch constructed - hoping I have enough brick paper left to cover the walls! Gates are laser cuts from Warbases.

However, adjoining corn fields done - all slavishly copied from James/Jimbibbly's - plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery James!! ;)
Matchsticks for snake rail fencing (individually painted - ugh) and cornstalks from JTT, collected over a few years and trimmed to varying heights before being planted.

Post by: OSHIROmodels on July 12, 2016, 06:12:27 PM: Well, I think I'll have to return the favour and do two 'halves'. Great idea 8) 8)

The way the match sticks were painted on ours was to get an old cardboard box, brown spray of choice (Humbrol Dark Brown 29), matchsticks in the box and then spray and shake vigorously until they are all coated. Doesn't have to be an even coat either which adds to the effect :)

..but have completed the church!
This is Renedra plastic colonial church, plus their fencing and gravestones - with more shingles from Wild West Models added and tree made by John Boadle.
Once again I've used a previous model for reference, this one being one by Admiral Benbow on this forum.

Post by: painterman on September 29, 2016, 10:56:24 PM: Bit more progress on the AWI brick house.
Doors and windows now attached, as well as the porch - which needs shingles adding.
The walled garden has brick paper added and just needs landscaping with grass and plants etc.
The garden base and the house will remain as separate pieces, to provide maximum options re gaming.

Post by: painterman on October 02, 2016, 11:04:12 AM: Hmm, good point on the walls - I've really based it on the high garden wall that at the Yorktown Customs House.

Whilst I await new order of shingles from USA, here's handful of rebel riflemen (all Perry metals) which were in the metal mountain.

Good effort, do the gates open too?

Post by: fantail on October 05, 2016, 07:58:48 PM: Very nice, everything looks great. Did you go for the S or O gauge shingles?
Title: Re: AWI Collection - occasional additions - UPDATE @ 4 OCTOBER.
Post by: painterman on October 05, 2016, 09:30:58 PM: Many thanks for all the kind words.
Stuart - gates are fixed I'm afraid (laser cut wood from Warbases)
Fantail - they're S gauge shingles (seem a good enough fit).

Cheers, Simon.

Onepiece castings and bit tricky to paint to be honest and horses are a tad mis-shapen; useful troops for campaigns in southern states and thankfully not many needed.

Post by: painterman on October 14, 2016, 01:14:06 PM: More reinforcements for the 'rebels' - 2nd Maryland, who saw action in several engagements in the AWI.
Perry metals - mix of uniforms and hunting coats.

Just one more AWI piece on the painting table at the moment.
Simon.

Post by: painterman on October 22, 2016, 01:36:19 PM: More off the AWI lead pile - British additions to existing units I have for southern battles and a Continental officer (plastic) in prep for a small command vignette.
(I have now added highlights to the face which I'd missed before basing these chaps!).
thanks for all the views & comments.
Simon.

Post by: ARKOUDAKI on October 23, 2016, 09:17:12 PM: Great collection of work Simon, well done to you!!!!!!!! I still don't understand how people can't paint with a black basecoat (my eyes aren't that good, so I prefer white or grey depending on uniform) but your end result as well as your tremendous output of well painted figs is just inspiring. One day when I retire....probably be blind by then! :'( Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!!
