ALY MORRISON'S "BUTTERFLY" ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF WARGAMES AND TOY SOLDIERS

Sunday 13 March 2022

The War of 1812… More U.S. Infantry.

Greetings…

Here is yet another U.S. unit for this project…

These fellows will be another part of the 21st Infantry Regiment…

 


Another enjoyable unit to paint…

The Tunics are… Citadel… Kantor Blue.
The Trousers and Piping are… Citadel… Pallid Wych Flesh.
The Pack and Snapsack are… Citadel… Hoeth Blue.
The Canteens are… Foundry… Sky Blue Light 21C.
The Muskets are… Citadel… Mournfang Brown.
The Belts are… Citadel… Corax White.
As always everything was given a wash of Aly’s Brown Liquid and then highlighted with the original colours… the Belts were also highlighted with pure White.

The figures are from Knuckleduster…

The paints are Wargames Foundry and Citadel...

The bases are as always...

I was hoping to get a bit more painting done this week but Covid decided to put a stop to that..

It may be what’s ‘Trending’ at the moment and I can see that a lot of the young hipsters are taking it up…But I shall not be recommending it to anyone…

I’m on the mend now…

I have a British infantry unit primed and waiting for paint…and in my War of 1812 project box I have a British/Canadian cavalry unit and I think enough other figures to make one more small British and U.S. infantry unit…  I shall wait until these are all done and then I will have a parade.


All the best.  Aly

    These fellas are familiar to me (in a former life): the 21st Inf is one of the longest continuing service outfits in the US Army (active since 1861).
    Sad to hear you got the COVID: glad to hear that you're on the up side!

    Nice unit, as always, Aly.
    We are sorry the covid has come to visit you, but we are glad to know that you are better now: having had it all of us in the family, we understand that it is a nuisance even if you are not seriously affected ...
    To play down this experience, wouldn't it be an idea to paint a battlefield doctor (if such a miniature exists), to add to your British or U.S. forces?

      Thank you…

      It certainly wasn’t a pleasant experience… not one I would recommend to anyone…
      I always know when I am getting better…I want to paint toy soldiers 😁
      Stretcher Bearers or a doctor treating a wounded man would be an excellent little vignette… I must have a look around for suitable figures…

      All the best. Aly

    Nice toys Aly...sorry to read you succumbed to "the bot" ...a few friends and acquaintances here are starting to catch it too now, so perhaps our turn will come...but we have avoided it so far and as of today, total deaths in NZ are 156..... that's it....not to the power of ten or a hundred... One hundred and fifty six.

      You have been very fortunate… you have a government that gives a damn.
