Well it was a hard choice, but the British AWI plastic figures from Perry Miniatures won my heart.... for now;)
Besides wanting to paint something more uniformed, I also wanted to keep the number of figures I needed to paint to a minimum. So the AWI Southern campaign is born. I hope I have the courage and discipline to give it a good go. The War of the Roses is also a favorite and probably would be much easier to paint, but I never do anything the easy way.
So without further ado I present the British, literally, going to pieces as I pile them on the work bench. It's going to be the 33rd Foot. Is it the right uniform, meaning hats, coats, etc. I have no idea, but hell they will be painted correctly!

That's the good thing about 15mm metal - you don't usually have to glue arms, blankets and things on before you can even start! Good luck. I'm sure you'll have them looking great in no time.
ReplyDeleteHow dare you mention that word on a 28mm site sir, that is heresy!!!
DeleteSeriously, thank you sir, I shall need it. You don't even know how frustrated I was today when I glued my fingers together five times and this working on just one figure!!!

Wow.... can't turn my back on you for a second. New figures and a new period.

You go Kev!!
Hehehe, let's see if that will cut my one year painting time down to 6 months;)
