I am approaching the finishing line!
His Majesty's 17th Regiment of Foot are nearly painted, just the command figures requiring more work. The drummer has lots of detail still to do while the officers / ensign require final touches.
I've done a little arm-twisting for the sake of variety on this figure -
Here is the drummer and ensign requiring more work. Painting a crinkly flag is tricky, let me tell you! The union flag is difficult enough on a flat surface...
"Attack!"
"No, retreat!"
My two sergeants with halberds have a disagreement in their interpretation of orders -
The sergeants remind me of some lines from a Rudyard Kipling poem, "The Men that Fought at Minden":
The men that fought at Minden, they was armed with musketoons,
Also, they was drilled by halberdiers;
I don't know what they were, but the sergeants took good care
They washed be'ind their ears.Enough of that. I can soon sit back and enjoy all the other work in the project.
@MABO - when I'm finally done, I'll send you a PM...
