illiam Washington's 3 Rd Continental Cavalry

[kingsmt]

Here are some of my finished 3 RD Continental Cavalry as they would have appeard at Cowpens. Together with Captain James Mccall's SC Mounted Militia, they rained hell down upon the British at Cowpens, destroying the British Legion and sending Bloody Ban hightailing it for his life.

 Painting by the great John Bryant and basing by moi.

If you missed the Captain McCall thread go back and check it out, you may have missed it. These are some of my favorite cavalry figures and McCall is an unsung hero of the War in the South.

I have loads more of the 3 RD, including a really well painted unit that I picked up at Historicon many moons ago. I'll get to them next. Then the British Legion.

I think that these are mainly the wonderful Eureka AWI Cavalry figures. These are excellent sculpts.

I've been distracted by ancients lately and didn't notice the original post.

One thing I will say:  You have a talent for basing.  There's so much going on but it's still cohesive.

15/18mm is the scale I've worked in the least, so I can't really say much about the painting other than it looks good to me.  I like them.

EDIT:  I just realized that with my monitor and the zoom level I like in my browser the cavalry are about 8 inches tall on my screen.  And they still look good.  My painting can't survive that level of magnification, so I'm impressed.
