I've moved from my medieval homelands to the hinterland that is my AWI collection.
This was started when the Foundry range was launched and I recently decided to focus new units on the southern theatre of 1779-82. So next planned items are Loyalists and some terrain pieces. I'll post progress here, although this maybe somewhat sporadic - there are medieval figures half-finished on the desk, which keep catching my eye!
First up are 10 figures for DeLancey's Loyalists, with 8 more in prep stage. These are first Perry AWI plastics I've done - very detailed mouldings which are challenging when you want to get units done swiftly.


Here are some retro pics of mounted troops - Perry metals - the last ones I did about 18 months ago now. Picture quality for these is a bit poor, so apologies for that.







Thanks for looking, Simon.

Lovely stuff Simon, DeLanceys lads look resplendent in the cream coloured hat and it looks great above the rich red of the uniform coat  :-*

Really great work. I picked up the Rebellion book by Warlord for Black Powder, and have been drooling over the Perry minis.

The conundrum is that I don't do 28s, so all my terrain would be wrong, I would have to go all in! Darn you and your finely painted miniatures, sir! Darn you, I say!

Spiffing. They look great.

I know exactly what you mean about detailed plastics - the bane of painting webbing, facings, and all those ruddy buttons!

Excellent work Simon! 8) 8) It's true all the extra detail adds to the time, but when finished gives a very rewarding looking unit!

Fine work, sir.  I quite like the hat of the Tory on the right - a small but effective touch that adds variety to the unit. 
Now what is this whole life of mortals but a sort of comedy, in which the various actors, disguised by various costumes and masks, walk on and play each one his part, until the manager waves them off the stage?
