AWI Painted Artillery

British 6-pound battery deployed for battle.

I have been busy painting samples of each figure in the Fife & Drum range, in preparation to photographing them for our web site. You can see some of the artillery crew and equipment in this post.  Be sure to click on the picture to enlarge the view.

A picture of my work bench today. I have just glued 32 British figures to card bases prior to priming them with grey paint. The regiment will become the 44th (Essex) Regiment -- see GMB Designs flag in the back ground. You can also see a Foundry French Tumbral cart from their French Revolution range.

  3. Ah, the 44th! Always a favorite of mine. Very eager to see the finished results.
