F&IW things to come

[AdamPHayes]

The finishing you have performed on these figures is very good.  I look at the same figures on my painting table and they just do not display the same swagger and elan as yours.  I admit they only have a prime coat as yet, but I must labor long and hard to equal your results.  I had to look at my versions as soon as I saw the pictures of yours on LAF, just to assure myself they were indeed the same figures.  You have set a hard standard to match.  I tried earlier with the Provincial Officer to match your paint job and I saw then I still have a "ways" to go.  These are very good.  Thanks for showing them to us.

Don't get too depressed. At 3 feet distance on a wargame table there will be no discernible difference.

Hi chaps, fergal's post above was part of me getting past a new problem with Imageshack in posting pictures - so, I can do it without them now  


Here's FIW AAM4 Anglo-American Militia with Bayonets, with the last figure in place 

I'll put up the command pack later, hitherto I had only shown 2 of the 6 figures.
I need to update the pre-order pic in the shop too, before it ends in a few days.

You're right Achim, there are French reinforcements in the pipeline ... but I think more Brits will arrive first

I've been gearing up for my pre-ordered Militia to arrive.  I found this great site of a New England reenactment group that portrays militia.  There are a few pictures on this page but more importantly some links to members flickr accounts with lots more pictures.

It's hard for me to decide on colors for non-uniform troops so references like these help.  Though I do try to emulate Lance's great paint work when available

OOh more Brits …

This must be the additional pack for the Anglo-American Provincials - with casualties, the light artillery piece and Crew … - ...right!!!


Lance ! Your Anglo-American Militia Command pack looks great!! Very nice Figures - like the Anglo-American Militia at all

Cheers
Achim

Here's hoping for some earlier figures too - Donnybrook style colonists perhaps?

That's a very good reference source for painting fergal, I've seen some of these pictures before, but not all of them.
You'll probably get yours painted well ahead of mine, so here's my plan for colour 'palette':
Lots of browns of various shaded ("the Yankees do so love a brown coat") from very rich browns down through duller hues to sandy stoney colours, then a fair mix of greys, other colours in smaller amounts chiefly on waistcoats, hose etc.

Donnybrook eh, interesting 
I take it you mean late seventeenth century frontier types, as the rules cover the period of the F&IW?
