My latest unit is the 3rd Foot as they might have looked at Eutaw Springs in 1781.
This is my second version of this battalion as I built them a while back using plastic figures, but this time I really wanted a firing line. I've used Perry metal figures (British infantry in cut down coats - firing line and command standing as well as a few figures from a grenadier command pack). Flags are from GMB and the finials and cords are from Front Rank. Bases are from Warbases.
Great work on these - I have always liked the Buffs - I actually had a mate who served in their successor regiment, the Queens Regiment in the 80's. I think they were the first AWI unit I painted twenty years ago, using Front Rank figures.
ReplyDeleteExcellent brushwork
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Steve , interesting to see the separate base for the standards ? I hadn’t noticed that on your other units or is that a new idea ?
ReplyDeleteHi Matt. I base standards separately for the British as they weren’t always carried in the field so I can leave them off if I want. It also means I can swap the standards on a unit for ones of another regiment with the same facings. My Hessian regiments also have separate standards in most cases, also the French but the latter is so I can split regiments into two battalions and give each one of the regiment’s two flags.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work!
