Well... have gone over to the dark side again...

General Sheriton's American Expedition to Venus has finally received the Go Ahead from the War Department.

Units (mostly volunteers) are expected to be arriving at any time.

Joining the 1st US Regulars are two new units: The 1st and 2nd Louisiana Volunteer Zouves (Colored), nicknamed "The Swamp Brigade:"

And here is a shot of Col. Jack Daniels (Center) and his unit commanders:

Word has it that a regiment of Dragoons is soon to arrive, followed by two new prototype steam tanks. Construction of the USS Blunderbust, which suddenly was halted due to the untimely death of the Chief Engineer (I lost my building mojo...

) is also expected to commence shortly.

Great thread all the way through and these last minis look the usual high standard, it would be nice to see a shot of the complete army together.

Keep up the great work

Would the commander of the Dragoons be a Capton Jim Bean?

I reviewed, after some time, the whole thread.
What a nicely painted force you are collecting!

More pics please!

Beautiful, Ray, as usual.

Now, how is that 'nef coming along?

The one and only...

Jonas I will put a group photo together when the Dragoons and tanks are finished.

Sinewgrab the nef still needs its rudder and flying stand. I anticipate adding a few extras as well.

And argsilverson... always there to help keep the old man's enthusiasm going. Thanks.

Tally Ho!

This is great stuff Ray and a lovely angle on the American forces.

Looking forward to seeing a pic of the whole gang.

These Zouaves bare an uncanny resemblance to a certain group of Force Publique from another thread...

They look great here too though! A perfect example of killing 40 birds with 20 stones!

I really like the officers, Ray
Nice work

Perhaps the short lived dynamite gun might find new life with the Venus expedition.

Excellent work Ray.

I finally finished the core of my US Marines. Will hopefully get to photograph them at the weekend. Thanks to you I will now have to look for figures for a 'coloured' regiment

. However, before I do that I must sort out some armoured support for the marines.

Yikes... how "modern" of me...

I've got a couple of Doc Twilight's Euzkadis that I'm going to bash. Nice models with lots of potential. Their up after I finish the 7th North Carolina Volunteer Dragoons.
