Latest Project - War for Independence

In my 50+ years of painting wargame military figures I've paint many armies. Ancient Egyptian, Roman, Dark Ages, Ancient Chinese, Middle Ages, Renaissance, Samurai, Lace Wars, Seven Years War, Napoleonic Wars, War Between the States, Colonial Wars (My first armies were African Colonial- Zulu, British, Boers, Arab and French in Jack Scrubby's "N Gauge."), the Great War, the Banana Wars, Second World War, Korean War, (I lost friends in Vietnam and have never been interested, apart from a few character pieces, in painting that sad conflict) Science Fiction and Fantasy. More than 30,000 figures sized from 6mm to 100mm+. Yet I never covered the American War for Independence in large numbers. Well in honor of the 250 Anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence that oversite is now to be addressed by my new project-the 2000+ figures Revolution! from Warlords "Epic Black Powder" series.

I was impressed with the set overall, although the lack of action poses for the line infantry is kind of nostalgic as it reminds me of the limited styles available in the late '60's and early '70's metal pieces.

Bases & terrain 

Colonials

British and European troops.

First up is conversion of some British Regulars into a Brigade of French troops. Here's hoping my old eyes can hold up painting these small guys.
