Perry Miniatures AWI Camp Vignette

 It has been a rather slow week on the painting front - I have not spent a great deal of time at the painting desk, as I have re-watched all ten episodes of "The White Queen" based on Phillipa Gregory's novels about court intrigue surrounding the Wars of the Roses. Its quite revisionist, almost everyone comes out of it with a better reputation than usual, particularly King Richard III. His Queen Anne Neville (the Kingmakers younger daughter) has a few nasty moments wanting vengeance on Edward the IV's queen Elizabeth, but by and large, most characters come out of it OK. Lady Margaret Beaufort, Henry VII's mother, is a religious psycho and Lord Stanley (her third husband.....but who is counting?) and his brother played all sides of the game and ended up betraying King Richard, as most will know. I do not know how accurate any of it was - probably not very - but it made for a good tale and I have enjoyed watching it again.

Anyway, two or three hours pre night for about four days in a row pretty much put a temporary halt to much painting progress, but I did get around to doing this small vignette that I bought from the Perrys at the same tome as purchasing the WWII Italians for the Pulp Project

The stacked muskets are from the Perry plastic Napoleonic British infantry set, with the arm and hand removed, an easy task with plastic

Finally here is an image of the three main female characters from "The White Queen"
