another battalion rolling off the workbench...

19th (Central Ontario) Battalion, CEF

The formation patch for the 19th Battalion was a green semicircle surmounting a blue patch – the blue patch was for the 2nd Division, the semicircle indicated the second battalion within the brigade and the green was the senior brigade within the division.

Tim - I would love to see your terrain trenches.

They're still a work in progress. I started the 4th Division's terrain 10 years ago and have been fixing it up lately. This is it's current state:

The rest I'm going to build through the month of March.

to get an idea of how I'm doing stuff check out the blog post on the terrain I built for my REGINA TRENCH! game that I ran last fall at ToonCon:

I have been slacking off with updating this thread... I have finished a few more battalions since I last posted in November...

First are two battalions I painted to finish up the 4th Canadian Infantry Brigade - miniatures are from 1st Corps

20th (Central Ontario) Battalion, CEF

21st Battalion (Eastern Ontario), CEF

Next are three battalions that finished up the 5th Canadian Infantry Brigade.

24th Battalion (Victoria Rifles), CEF - Miniatures from Gripping Beast/Woodbine Design

25th Battalion (Nova Scotia Rifles), CEF - Miniatures from Gripping Beast/Woodbine Design

26th Battalion (New Brunswick), CEF

I just received the last of the miniatures I need for the project (from Irregular Miniatures). Once I get them painted up I will have one brigade from every manufacturer of Great War British miniatures and I'll post some comparison pictures.

I've also been working on some Germans!

Wow! Since November?

I would have been happy just getting the Germans done. Is there any chance of seeing a close up of the Kaiser's men?

Tim, thanks for the pic of your trenches, lovely work!
You are a machine sir, painting so many figures, so fast.
Cheers,
Thomas

On to the last Brigade I will be painting for the project - the 6th Brigade, 2nd Canadian Division! All of the miniatures in the 6th Brigade are from Irregular miniatures.

The 27th Battalion (City of Winnipeg), CEF

Three more battalions to finish up then it's on to the terrain!

Now that I have painted examples of Great War British (or Canadian!) infantry from every manufacturer I should get around to posting some comparison shots....

I finished up a few more battalions over the last week (28th, 29th, and 31st Battalions)...

Sorry about the quality of the picture - I usually like to take pictures outside in natural light... but it got REALLY COLD this week!

This batch finishes off The Canadian Corps - or at least all the ones I'm planning to use for my Vimy game - just a few short weeks away!!

The Corps consisted of four divisions, each with three brigades of four battalions each. My battalions are made up of 15 figures. Each brigade also has a machine-gun company and a trench mortar battery in direct support.

Missing is the 10th Brigade - they were held in reserve to attack a strong point just north of the ridge the following day. I'll get to painting them up someday, but I am pressed for time at the moment, so I'm leaving them for the moment.

I also have a lot more guns to paint up (some day!), but as they're not needed on the table, I setting them aside for the moment as well.

On to the terrain!

Hi Tim,
That is well over 1000 figures! Wow! Fantastic work!
