I've made a start...

 ...on the first of my Stockbridge tribes figures for the French and Indian Wars expansion project. The figures are my first from Galloping Major and proved to be a joy to paint. As usual the bases are from Warbases and the texture and rocks from Woodlands Scenics range of Buff railway ballast (in three grades of Fine, Medium & Coarse). The colour scheme I'm using for these figures I found by an internet search throwing up other wargamers' painted versions, reenactor photos and art work. The main shirt colours will be Linen, Moss, Boneyard and Canvas which will be augmented by more colourful leggings than on my European figures, as I hope you can see from the pictures ~

I am off for a short break again later in the week. First to Holmfirth in West Yorkshire to do The Last of the Summer Wine tour and then on to Hornsea on the East Yorkshire coast where we are renting a house for a week with Ruth and her family. This by way of an explanation as to the lack of activity on the blog in the coming two weeks. I hope that you will feel like popping back after the intermission to follow our hobby activity here in GHQ and beyond.
