...is now ready to command His Majesty's forces in Flanders and the Low Countries. I received the newish
Trent Miniatures from Duncan just after
Partizan ~ the Duke of York and General Abercrombie. Now they are painted up I've cannibalised my old command base and used a Trent British officer, painted as a Royal Artillery officer, and the Irish Militia officer, to which I added 'my head' as sculpted by my son Matt (see earlier posts). The resulting base will command my British army in my
Wars of the French Revolution games ~
I'm quite pleased by the overall look and composition of the command vignette myself, but no doubt others will have their view. The other figure from the cannibalised base I've repurposed as a Brigade Commander, so no waste there. I think the sculptor captured the profile of the Duke quite well.
Very grand indeed!
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is, though I say so myself!
DeleteVery nice indeed. Where's the hill?
ReplyDeleteHills are your department I thought.
DeleteSmashing!
ReplyDeleteThat's excellent work, in both painting and context. Now you're going to have to put that head in all your armies - a sort of blackadder through the ages!
The horse sculpts are very grand, may have to get some for repurposing myself.
Thank you Purp S, but you are behind the times. You can find Obadiah Bykleigh in the ECW, Useless S Bykleigh, Jubal E Bykleigh, and J.E.B.Bykleigh in the ACW. I have two more heads to work with on other projects, but no suitably rotund figures yet!
DeleteLovely looking command stand David!

ReplyDeleteThey do, don't they? Thanks George!
DeleteWhat a splendid vignette David, wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Phil!

ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank You Iain!
