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: Loyalist Militia

 Finished a 12 man strong Loyalist Militia unit for Sharpe's Practice. Not a lot of information is avalible for the kind of flags they carried.  Loyalist militia units in the American Revolutionary War (AWI) did carry flags (or "colours"), often incorporating British symbols like the Union Jack, but they varied greatly from Patriot flags, sometimes simpler, sometimes featuring Loyalist emblems or unit designations, with examples like regimental colours for British regulars often distinct from militia banners. 

So here I just went generic with the flags. Showing that this paticular militia unit was better orginized so would have one.


As always thanks for looking.

Cheers
Kevin

    These guys definitely look like militia. Very nice. The "colours" do look brilliant.
