Finished? Well, not quite it seems...

After I had varnished the 45th Foot for the AWI and stored them safely away in GHQ I took a break from painting. In a mad moment, well we all have those I guess, I decided to tidy and reorganise my painting desk and it's immediate environs. The latter part of the exercise yielded a number of AWI figures for the Crown's forces, British light company figures. They were all Foundry figures and provided enough for two bases, one of four and the other of five figures. The base of four are finished now, I painted them to go with the recently mustered 45th Foot. I'm happy with how they turned out, but you must be the judge ~

{The second base will be painted as a detached Light Company when it's their turn on the painting desk. I'll decide on the facing colours nearer the time.}
Along with these I've been slowly working on the Perry Miniatures mounted Militia Colonels I bought at Partizan. For reasons that friends and acquaintances will be too polite to mention I started with the rather stout figure. He's finished now, so he can deploy into GHQ too for the upcoming AWI game with Phil. A second figure is well underway too, though I doubt he will make the deadline.

When working through my part of our Eureka order recently I sorted out the few AWI figures there. I've four artillery gunners to pair with a spare cannon I'd found last year and some ragged Continental Dragoons. There are three of the latter, apparently the missing three are en route from Melbourne. We shall have to wait and see.
