10mm Yankees

I just finished this Old Glory 10mm Union Regiment. These guys are based om 1"x3/4" bases, so they can be used for Fire & Fury, Piquet: Field of Battle or Too Fat Lardies" They Couldn't Hit an Elephant.

Fuzzy Wuzzy Camels

Here are some pictures of my recently completed 15mm Fuzzy Wuzzy Camelry. Since there is no actual manufacturer of these guys, had to do some conversions ranging from minor to major. The Camels were either Essex pre-Islamic arab or Warrior Dervish. Other parts used were Stone Mountain and Minifigs' Fuzzies. Some of the riders have odd proportions due to my poor conversion skills, but they will do! Basing is for Too fat Lardies' TDLIUE.




The camels are either Essex or Warrior. The Essex camels have the padded blankets and more proportional camel bodies. The far left and right camels were minor conversions: shaving off bows, quivers, etc. and adding spears, shields and fuzzy 'fros.









The three Warrior camels (2nd, 3rd and 5th from left) used Dervish torsos with either Stone Mountain of old Minifigs upper torsos. The Essex camel (4th from left) uses an Essex lower rider and a Stone Mountain upper body.

10mm Zouaves by Old Glory...painted up as the 5th NY Vols, I believe...






Some Confederate infantry, also Old Glory. I probably added too many Union pants and made them look too hodge podge...oh well!





The two units face off!

15mm Colonials

I picked up some 15mm colonials recently. I managed to paint some up, but still haven't based them...

First up are some 15mm Spanish American War figures from TVAG. The top three are US Volunteer Infantry. There seems to be only one pose for the rank and file, and one pose of officer and standard bearer (not pictured).











The bottom three are Spanish regular infantry in field dress. There seems to be 3 poses for the rank and file (shown). You can't see it in the photos, but I attempted the rayadillo with a light duck blue and some small, fine white lines to give the impression of pinstriping. I didn't take much effort and I am pleased with the impression it gives.






Last up are some 15mm Stone Mountain Sudan range. The upper left 3 are Mahdi ansar with spear (one pose per pack). The upper right shows some British in advancing pose (also one pose variation). The bottom 2 rows show the mixed Fuzzy Wuzzy pack of spear, sword and rifle armed warriors. Very nice figures.

Liberators!

Finally finished up my unit for the South American Wars of Liberation. Using the figures from the "Liberator's" line and the guides also available from John Fletcher, I painted up the Burgos.










Not real happy with the flag, it was printed from the web, I am going to try and touch it up by hand. Maybe one day there will be some high quality flags commercially available...
















Burgos is depicted in "brin" uniforms that they wore at the battle of Maipo. It's a nice switch from the blue uniforms of the Patriots.











The unit is based for Piquet's Field of Battle. Seems like a decent rule set for the smaller battles of the 19th century.






I really can't say how nice the figures are. Very easy to paint and capture a lot of flavor. I believe they were sculpted by Mike Broadbent. Very nice stuff!

Painted up some 1/3000 Spanish ships for the Battle of Manila Bay. They are based for "Fire when Ready" by David Manley. I painted the Castilla in black as opposed to whitem because it would be easier to identify as part of the Spanish fleet. More too come...

Impetus: Age of Arthur

In an effort to paint some of my bare lead, I have embarked on an Impetus/Basic Impetus endeavor for the Age of Arthur. Here are some pictures of my first two bases:


Saxon warband: A mix of Old Glory and Outpost.











Arthurian British: Splintered Light and Outpost.










The Clash! More to come...
