F&IW New York Independent Company - PAINTED - UPDATE 2nd Sept

[OSHIROmodels]

Hope this logging of my little project isn't proving too tiresome.   Wink  Smiley

Not at all, it's really good to see so much devotion in a project. An inspiration to us all 

A small suggestion, would it be worth taking a small needle file to the metal master and making a bit more of a join between the belts etc and the clothing. In some parts they seem to blend a bit too much (if that makes sense)

Otherwise, looking good 

cheers

You have certainly put a lot of time and effort into this. Glad to see it is paying off and the air bubble wasn't too big an issue.

[Malamute]

Terrific stuff, you must be really pleased with the way they are coming on. I can't wait to see a unit painted up of these.

[Aaron]

Looking good!

[Malamute]

They are terrrific and the boat looks good too, you have been busy

[Aaron]

Sorry to hear about the back. I thought you'd been a bit quiet. The NY troopers are looking good. I can't wait to see them painted!

[Barry S]

Great stuff SI. I really admire your dedication to the period.

Glad to hear you're on the mend

Very nice work! Keep it up I loved this thread.

[OSHIROmodels]

They certainly look good enough to me although I would perhaps use a slightly darker shade of green for the base colour of the coats.

cheers

[Aaron]

Very nice! I'm looking forward to hearing more about the game you are working up to.

[Malamute]

I like 'em a lot. The fact that you sculpted,then cast them and now painted them is a marvel in itself. Top stuff

[Calimero]

Cute figures. They look like "classic toy soldiers"... I also like their uniform color. Nice work

@LTD
Somehow I seem to have missed those.  They are nice though I suspect the shouldered arms might make for a more difficult conversion, bearing in mind that metal will need to be hacked from around the waist to create the external belt.  Thanks very much for the suggestion. 

@Aaron
Rolling updates will, of course, continue!    No promises as to frequency or speed of progress though!  Still working on the 'Brown Bess' and tricorn masters - the musket started with a bayonet but I've since had a change of mind and removed it.  Some wip:



Thanks also for flagging  the magazine article as I would have missed it.  I will be sure to pick up a copy from town tomorrow (I see they also have an article on the East Essex - my local regiment).
