New Year...New Blog Priorities



Again a massive apology to those who want me to post more stuff. I have had a hell of a year but this one will hopefully bring a bit more in the way of stability. So...I will post all of my units on my Blog, starting with my representation of a Virginia Continental Regiment (probably the 10th). I am very much in Gile's camp when it comes to painting units to represent what they were as opposed to the generic method and because of this I have spent a great deal of my time researching uniforms and generally copying Gile's regiments I like the look of! (SORRY GILES).

I like the individual appearance of the different uniforms which often gives a rag tag appearance to the American forces which I like. I also mix many civilian and un-uniformed chaps in each unit to enhance this look further. So there we go...the first unit to show you with many more on the way I hope.

I hope you like them.

  1. I like them very much!
    I do exactly the same as you do in regards to unit construction.
    Giles also has a huge influence on me as well.

    Cheers

  3. Yes...I hand paint all my flags and there will be some additional ones to see shortly. The next post will be the 2nd New York regt from poors brigade. Although a New Hampshire Brigade it did have two NY units in it and I have given this unit the brigade Flag just because it was different. I will post that at some point today or tomorrow!
