Thanks all - that was a lot of fun to shoot and write up.

Next up in the painting queue are Bavarian Cuirassiers and some more British Rifle Volunteers. I also want to make the watermill.

Beautiful project, figures and scenery, inspiring stuff    Sorry if you have already given an explanation to this question, what figures did you use to make the Inns of Court Volunteers? 

[levied troop]

Wow!
Just one of the best looking games ever and sounds like a blast to play!

Thanks all - apologies but I missed a couple of the posts and have only just seen them.

It is a hugely enjoyable project - I’ve yet to play the next game as I want some cavalry on cavalry action so the Bavarian Cuirassiers and British Household Cavalry are nearing the front of the TO DO queue (plus a unit of Tower Hamlets Rifle Volunteers).

Delays are also attributable to me painting more minis for my Sci-fi project plus Bloody Miniatures Scottish conversions (and terrain).

Regarding the Inns of Court chaps, I made masters using some commercial parts, which I converted/sculpted, then had cast. The casting was with the permission of the rights-holder of the commercial parts, on the basis that they are strictly for my own personal use.

The further modifications for the Inns of Court unit:
