Well it's been awhile, but I trudged along and finally finished my five mounted Reiver's. These figures, as well as the game, are available through Flags of War .
My friend Anton has been scratch building some scenery for the time period involved and has been doing an excellent job. Visit his blog to see his ongoing project, this is the link to his main page Anton's Wargame Blog . If you visit just scroll down to the Border War project articles to see how he started and has progressed.
Unfortunately the bast.... ahem, I mean good fellow has taken a vacation to Ireland for a few weeks so I won't be seeing the finished project in my hands any time soon. But that's okay, because I still have a bit of painting to do, and so does my poor friend Mark who I sort of talked into doing this with me by saying to him "hey, there is this cool period and figures available and I think we should do it! Oh and by the way you owe me such and such dollars as I bought them for you already."
Yeah, it was like that. Fortunately he went along with it, but I don't see myself getting away with that again anytime soon. You gotta love me as a friend, or.... I'll just leave this at that.
The following are what you've all been waiting for, the pictures. First the Leader, followed by the Hero, and then the three Soldiers (grunts), and a group shot.

Lovely work as always, Kevin! Hope you are keeping well. Cheers, Aaron
ReplyDeleteThank you sir, and indeed all is well other than the smoke from the fires in Canada pouring over Michigan, but it beats the State being on fire. I hope all is going well for you on your side of planet as well!
