1st Foot, the Royal Scots, War of 1812

A quick post to show a further addition to my War of 1812-15 collection. These are Foundry figures representing the 1st Foot, the Royal Scots. They were painted for me by John Hill, a chum of Jon's. The flags are by Flags of War and the bases by Warbases ~

All I did was base, texture, grass and add flags. I'm really pleased by them I have to say. While John's style is different mine I think they fit right in. A couple of closer pictures as usual ~

I received the second unit yesterday from John, via Jon, and they are already based and textured. I'll post them later in the week when they are grassed and the flags added.
Meanwhile, the two RUBs of painted War of 1812-15 figures have been varnished on Sunday last and the whole collection reboxed ready for action early in 2020. On the painting desk I've got the Knuckleduster figures I bought from Caliver which I'm painting as Canadian Sedentary Militia. Oh, and my order from Brigade Games in the USA arrived in under a week! Not bad eh?

      For some reason I can't put my finger on I thought you'd like the flags😉.

      I agree, fine addition without having to paint them myself. JH's work is very pleasing!

      It will not matter, the very ether of OHQ will soon corrupt the new dice.

    That is one good looking unit David. I have decided to start my 1812 project this Christmas as I've got all the figures organised. Hope you and Sue have a great Xmas.
