| Brits left and centre, Yank to the right. |
Last
post this week is another lot of leftovers from AHPCV, in the form of
three generals for my War of 1812 project. There are two British (the
good guys) and one American (boo, hiss, Yankee go home). All are
Perry's, from the British Napoleonic range.
I
really like these three figs, good poses on the riders and fine looking
horse flesh underneath. The one officer in the navy coat has been
initially allocated to the staunch defenders of Upper Canada. However,
uniform similarities and the top coat mean that he could end up leading
our brutish southern neighbours bent on conquest rape and pillage.
Once again I used slightly different basing techniques. To suite the rough Canadian Shield I made the ground quite rocky, using a mix of ballast and Kitty litter. I then added tufts for weeds to suit my mood at the time.
Great stuff Peter - I think you've caught the essence of the dastardly Americans right there. I look forward to seeing Canada bravest sons best them on the battlefield.
ReplyDeleteDastardly about covers it Conrad. Thanks.
DeleteNice work, Peter. A fine tribute to oft forgotten period of US history.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean
DeleteSplendid chaps Peter, even the slovenly American. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. Every good story needs a villain!
DeleteThey look beautiful, nice job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil
DeleteIt's a fine tune Stu, and no more inaccurate than most American history!
