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 [...]

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 [...]
Settlers Defending (1)
These guys are the first of my Anglo American Settlers from Galloping Major Wargames. There is another pack on my painting table as I write this. This group is all in shirt sleeves with a mottly looking assortment of equipment. The vast majority of the encounters in the FIW were border skirmishes between Indians and [...]
Review of Bloody Mohawk
Bloody Mohawk by Robert Berleth This is simply a fantastic book, both in terms of writing and content. I thoroughly enjoyed it from the moment I started reading until the moment I put it down. It takes you through the Mohawk Valley from 1713-1794 and details the major ethinic groups and individuals that lived and [...]
Rangers (4)
I have finally finished the last of my current Galloping Major figures. These last few were a lot of fun. I really like painting the tricorns and lace on the uniforms. There’s not a lot to say about them that hasn’t been said before as this is the fourth lot of Rangers that I have [...]
Mohawks (4) – Last of the Mohawk…ins
It’s with great pleasure that put the final bits of paint on these fine warriors. I really enjoyed painting the Mohawks as they were the first FIW figs that I painted and are really a lot of fun. I used a lot of blue and read and warpaint on this last batch. Not much to [...]
Summer Time and Hubbardton Reenactment
I have been quite quite on the blog for a bit, but that’s because I’ve been doing quite a bit of traveling lately. I started in late June with a trip to Philidelphia for work, so no time for taking in to many sites. Then it was off to Quebec City for a fun trip [...]
Huron (3)
I have finished my last batch of Huron warriors. These guys were a lot of fun to paint and I even made a few alterations to them. I’m not a big fan of headbands and in this last group I had a few guys with headbands, the one in the blanket and the guy standing [...]
Rangers (3) – Rogers and Co.
I have been anticipating these guys for a long time. This is the first new release from The Galloping Major since I started painting his figures, so they set back my complete figures percetages creating a desire to get some paint on them quickly. It still took me a little while as I was waiting [...]
Canadian Militia (5)
I finally finished one group of my FIW figures. I have been painting them in a rotation to keep things fresh, so this means all of the groups are getting near completion. As usual, I have been saving my favorite command figures for the last group. I’m especially fond of the Milice command figure with [...]
