Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

American War of Independence Project: British 63rd Regimet

 I've happily finished another unit for my Crown forces for Sharpe's Pratice rules. This is the 63rd Foot. I regret not having gone with the cockade hats. These Perry metal figures are nice, but I'm having a doubt about all this feather stuff. I know the soldiers when on campaign and especially in the hotter regions in the south would take the pins out of the cocked hats so to protect themselves from the sun and elements. 

Also painting the lapels and turnbacks would provide more color, which I like. Well que sera sera as the saying goes. I will trudge on to the next unit in the que.



As always thanks for looking.

Cheers
Kevin
