More Northern Militia Men
« on: June 25, 2016, 06:26:46 AM »
This is a companion piece to the Perry Northern Militia Men firing from behind a fence.
It's a couple of topics down from here, if you wish to compare.

A few are Perry's and the rest are conversions using KMM heads on various bodies.

I love the Foundry MinuteMan with the blunderbuss.
I filed his head down to the hairline and used greenstuff to form the headgear.
One of my best conversions, I think.

Some New England Militia firing from behind a stone wall at the retreating British.
Everything is scratch built by me, except the trees, which I  improved beyond belief. Cheap Ebay crap.

I forget who made the walls, but I broke them apart and laid some talus down, to represent where the wall had collapsed.
I think that it made it more interesting looking.
It took several washes and drybrushings to get it all to look like that. But I am pleased with the results.

At some point there will be a British piece, featuring some Redcoats hightailing it back to Boston.

Figures painted by the most excellent John Bryant.

Okay, in my defence I click on a lot of threads, but I do this on based on the thread's title. I'm trying hard not to comment on your threads but you do know how to make wargaming vegetation look good (and to your credit it's from different North American regions and seasons).

PS Hard to tell how the conversion went, we might need a few close ups.

Lucky,  I'll see what I can do about the conversion pix.
Just for you!
