The latest unit to progress across the painting desk and go under the brush are the 31st Huntingdonshire Infantry regiment. They are ready to muster into GHQ and complete the Second Brigade of my First Division in the British force ~
The figures are mostly by Great War Miniatures but this time also include three Warlord Games figures. The latter were part of a parcel I received from my friend Colin {of Carryings On Up The Dale} and further illustrate the point about our hobby's wonderful comradeship I was making in the previous blog post. The flags as usual are from North Star and the bases from Warbases as ever ~
Now that the 31st are finished the figures currently replacing them under the brush are a battery of Roosian 12lb guns and crew. They are Warlord Games figures and from that same parcel gifted me by Colin last year when the project first got underway. At present all the basic colours are blocked on on the first four gunners and the base bronze I use for cannon barrels is on both guns. I've also been working on a small vignette for the Roosians, but more of that in due course...
Well I'm glad to see my 'home' regiment looking so splendid! Lovely work as always and lets hope they give a good account of themselves. Looking forward to seeing more Roosians and the vignette base too:).
ReplyDeleteThank you SteveJ, glad it passes your test of approval! The Roosian vignette is finished, as is half the next Roosian battery.

ReplyDeleteYou're "Oxford" blue trousers are spot on, not too blue and not too dark.
Great painting
Glad they meet with your approval Andy. The Oxford blue is Foundry Prussian Blue, shade and mid-tone.
DeleteVery nice addition. The game table is very lucky for the unit.
ReplyDeleteThank you, no doubt they will suffer 'New Unit Syndrome ' though!
