War of 1812 - Next Instalment

As mentioned yesterday, I have started off this project by painting up one stand of each unit, to get an idea of what they will look like.

Tonight I present for your edification the command bases for the Royal Marines, the Canadian Voltiguers and the US Regular Rifles. I have the Glengarry LI ready too, but they are a bit behind the others as I had to create and print a standard for their Ensign to carry - which is not required of the other three units.

Of interest may be the fact that the RM and Voltiguers are made up of two manufacturers - I have incorporated one of the Knuckleduster figures with the officer and musician by Old Glory. This was always my plan - two units of 18 figures each from one pack of 6 Knuckleduster and one pack of 30 OG figures.

There are three images of each group...Firstly, the Royal Marines....




Next, we have the Canadian Voltiguers.....




And finally, the Regular US Rifles - the green is VERY bright, but if the references I have used are accurate, then their uniform was really this colour!




I think the Old Glory and Knuckleduster work quite well together.

More images soon,

    1. Slowly but surely - I think going forward, I may restrict my posting to full units, not a base by base record!
