A while back now I featured some small bases utilizing surplus American figures from the War of 1812 ongoing expansion project. I use them to represent skirmishers and to populate buildings more readily than the larger rectangular or square bases. I've done a few now for the British regulars stationed in the Canadas at the outbreak of hostilities ~
These Foundry British flank company figures, sculpted by Aly Morrison back in the day, were left over from a bag of assorted figures I got from Colonel Bill's earlier in the year. As they say, "Waste not, want not!"
While on the subject of using up figures I've also been painting up some Foundry American Rifles. Rather than just paint them as more US Rifle Regiment figures I've created an entirely fictitious Volunteer Rifles unit with a totally made up name and uniform, the Lafayette Rifle Volunteers. I'm half way through them, so hope to complete the unit by the end of the month.
Three beautiful vignette David, congrats!

DeleteQuality David, nice to see you've taken a break from the constant bacchanalia you have been enjoying recently. Look forward to the rifles.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement Robbie. The Rifles are progressing steadily.
DeleteVery nice, good to use up the odd figure or three.
ReplyDeleteIt is my Jockish side coming through perhaps😉?
