The Next Batch of AWI Troops

 Just a quick post tonight on the latest addition to the Revolutionary army - another Continental infantry regiment uniformed as per the 1779 regulations.


This time, the unit has white facings.










And here are a few pics of some more of the Middle Eastern/North African building I made for Barry recently. I had meant to put them all out on show once I dropped them off to him at last Sunday's game....but....I forgot, so these will have to suffice.







The last image has a 28mm figure for scale


Thanks for your visit - I am about 80% of the way through another twenty AWI militia, so hopefully they should be completed in a couple of days.

    2. They more or less ended up as you see them here, Bruce - they were delivered in this unfinished state to Barry, for him to paint up as he saw fit!

  3. Excellent work on the Continentals Keith and they really are lovely sculpts, being rather more normally proportioned than the oft seen 'heroic' sizes. Nice to see those buildings to, which I was thinking of when I came across some cork sheeting and tile off cuts...

    1. Thanks Daen, I like the 1779 uniforms too, but will probably add some of the earlier, varied coloured ones into the mix as well.

    1. Thanks OB, I have earlier units based as per my "groups" original style...units of 6 bases 30mm wide and 40mm deep....this has now evolved to 3 bases 60mm wide and 40mm deep...luckily, a unit is still 180mm wide, either way!

  14. Very nice Keith…
    Another good choice of facings…. Simple but very effective.


    All the best. Aly

    1. Thanks Aly. The 1779 regulation uniforms do benefit from the advantage of simplicity...dark blue coats with either red, buff,white or lighter blue facings, depending on which state they are from.
      As mentioned earlier though, I will be doing some of the earlier uniforms too, such as brown faced red etc.
