Expanding the Range

 

So remember before I got distracted....

I was working on a range of low-detail units for Bob Cordery's Portable Colonial Wargame.  I think they're pretty representative of the historical uniforms that they're meant to represent, but I'd be interested in seeing what you guess they are intended to be.  I'm working through some irregular uniforms as well, but am struggling with the non-firearm weapons.  After finishing the irregulars, I'll decide on an "army red" and "army blue" for use with the scenarios from One Hour Wargames and start the 3D printing/painting process.  Cavalry will be 3 mounted figures with sabers, lances, or carbines,  gatling and field artillery pieces are manned by 2 figures, regular infantry is in blocks of 6 and skirmishers are in blocks of 4.  I haven't decided if this project will be hexagonal or square gridded.  I already have a 8x9 hexagonal gridded surface, but there's a piece of grass green duck cloth in my wife's remnant pile that is about 20x30 and calling my name. I have 3D printed test pieces in scales down to 18mm, but a better printer could certainly handle 10mm or smaller.  

I've been pretty busy on the personal front since the last post, which was admittedly too long ago.  I've been very busy at work and in December, our second child was born.  He's been keeping us busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.  Now that football season is over, my schedule should be a little more freed up for hobby time.
