Another visit with Scott Leach and his miniatures.

 

As part of getting out and returning  to normal Janine and I went up to Gloucester Massachusetts to visit out friends Scott and Arlene.  Many of you may have visited Scott's old blog, "I like the Things I Like" (http://ilikethethingsilike.blogspot.com).  Scott introduced me to painting military miniatures years ago and we were active in reenactment groups.  He is one of my oldest friends and a great painter of toy soldiers!

Here is a view of the last time I visited:

Scott works mostly in 54mm figures or larger.  He buys a lot of plastic figures as well as old Britain's which are in broken and chipped states.  He repairs and reprints them.  All are done in a toy soldier look which is very appealing.  For paints he mostly uses craft paints from the local hobby store like Micheals.

Here are a number of Second Empire French, Prussian and Austrian regiments:

He recently started working on War of 1812 at New Orleans:

And some Seven Years War flats:

And a few October Fest figures and Mrs O'Leary and her famous cow!

In addition to having fun with miniatures we made sure to get outside and went for a walk on the beach and later in the woods.  We took our Yorkshire Terrier Fritz and he had the time of his life running and playing and being dog like.  He also needed to get out.

A most fun day was had by all.
