I just finished these lads up. I’m a huge fan of the British figures in the Lead Adventure Miniatures 1881 line. They are a bit intimidating due to the amount of detail and general awesomeness of the figures. I’m really happy with the lad with the fury coat, but I’d have like to have chosen [...]

BUF (3) – Command
I’ve been wanting to add this command group for a while, so I’m really glad to have finished them. The models are great and lots of fun to paint. I added a spare British Regular command figure and just painted him in BUF colors. I think it’s fair to assume that he might have had [...]
Mohawks (5) – Warpaint Time
So, I’ve had these lads sitting around for some time. I currently have 120ish models from the Galloping Major and that includes NO doubles of the same figure. Pretty impressive. When I began to order from the Major, I made a small purchase and decided I love them then made a larger purchase, which happened [...]
Dark Judges Group Photo
I just realized I didn’t put up a group photo when I finished my Dark Judges last week. Here it is.
British Regular Painting Guide
This is mostly for my own reference, but hopefully it will serve to help others who start out clueless. The following paint scheme should work for the Irish War of Independence, the British Expeditionary Force in WW2, and a Very British Civil War. All colors are Vallejo Model Color. I’m also using the following for [...]
British Regulars (2)
I’m becoming quite addicted to these Musketeer Miniatures. It seems they are incredibly fun to paint, I just wish there was less cleanup involved in the process. It seems that the mold lines take quite a bit of work to get rid of, and there are some blemishes on many faces that I dare not [...]
Crossley Tenders
I’ve been watching these little beauties on other peoples photos for a while now. These trucks are called Crossley Tenders and they carted the Black and Tans and Auxies around Ireland during the Irish War of Independence. There’s lots of great footage of the troops packed into the back of these trucks and tooling around [...]
BUF (2)
I’ve been planning on adding more troops to my VBCW project for a while, but I got sidetracked for a while with starting my own miniatures line. At the moment I don’t have anything to do but wait, so on to more painting. This is a pretty tame group, just a few more weak minds [...]
BUF Painting Guide
I just finished up some more of my BUF troops for a VBCW and though they aren’t very complicated, I couldn’t remember what colors I used for some of the details. So this is mostly a record for myself, there may be others out there that would like a starting point for painting their own [...]
Settlers Defending (2)
This is my second group of Settlers Defending from the Galloping Major. His figures continue to get better and better. I enjoyed painting these guys even more than I enjoyed painting the last lot. The addition of the vests added a lot of detail and interest into the figures. I really like the way [...]
