Charles Churchill's Regiment of Foot...(The Buff's).
The origins of the regiment lay in Thomas Morgan's Company of Foot, The London Trained Bands, which was in existence from 1572 to 1648.
During The War of Spanish Succession they were in action at...
The Battle of Blenheim... 1704.
The Battle of Ramillies... 1706.
The Battle of Oudenarde... 1708.
As with the Foot Guards the only work done on these was...
Tidy up a few chips...
Varnish the leather goods...
Re flag..
And rebase...
Another very pleasing unit...
I made the standards myself using the Robert Hall plate (G103) from the Pike and Shot Society only to realise that I had ordered one from Maverick Models...
Which turned out to be almost identical... never mind ... the practice will do me good...

The bases were, as always... Warbases.

The miniatures are... Front Rank.

And last but not least Maverick Models...

All the best Aly
A fine regiment requiring very little touch up. I like that!
ReplyDeleteI wish all my units were this quick.
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Superb work on these. Look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThey are very pleasing indeed.
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Brilliant looking Regiment Aly. This seems like the figure acquisition from heaven with so many sensational figures.
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed Carlo...

A fine bit of refurbishment Aly.
ReplyDeleteThe best kind of refurbishment...
Deletealmost no effort at all...;-)
All the best. Aly
Another great looking addition to your WSS collection Aly - The Buffs are always a good regiment to have in your army - I have two or three incarnations - certainly in AWI and again the War of 1812!
ReplyDeleteClearly a classic unit...
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Brilliant, splendid regiment Aly!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil...

Another splendid addition, nicely buffed. The Buffs were the first regiment I painted with Minifigs when I started an army all those years a go
ReplyDeleteI remember those! And those Greys who never lost a melee!
DeleteThank you Phil
DeleteAlmost no buffing at all...
David I hope when my Greys are in action they will be just as successful...
All the best. Aly
Beautiful regiment and polished off very quickly 🙂
ReplyDeleteI hope the others will be just as quick...
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Super looking acquisition! Lovely troops and nice flag!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
I think that the flag is particularly nice...
DeleteAll the best. Aly
A fine new addition for minimum effort! What's not to like?
ReplyDeleteThere are a few more to come... hopefully all as effort free...
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Very nice...I remember a re-fight of Blenheim at Blenheim Palace back in the 90's that Shep was part of...I expect these figures were there then.
ReplyDeleteI don’t think these were made when we did that game...
DeleteThe miniatures were mostly Wargames Foundry or Dixons as I recall...
All the best. Aly
Very well done Aly!
ReplyDeleteThank you...
DeleteAll the best. Aly
A very lovely looking regiment Aly!

Thank you ...

I'm sorry Aly - I've read this post a couple of times, and thought about it for a while. Let me get this straight - the concept here is of pre-owned units which required hardly any re-touching? No - sorry - that doesn't make any sense to me at all - I've never come across such a thing. Until now, I don't think I've even heard of anyone who has. I'll have to speak to my therapist about this.
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm working to get my head around it, let me say that they are absolutely lovely - a joy to behold. Thank you for sharing.
I know Tony it is a strange and somewhat splendid thing .... even more incredible there are another half dozen or so units in a similar condition waiting to be re based... ;-)
