Continental Army Command Stand

  Here is the finished command stand for my American Revolution Army.  All figures are from Fife And Drum, and they are mounted on a oversized stand.  Washington's command flag is from GMB flags.

Washington sits center stage, flanked by a general officer and a ADC.  The command flag is carried by a trooper from the 3rd Continental Light Dragoons.  I picked this regiment both because of their close association with Washington and the beautiful uniform.

George Washington

  In time for July 4th!  I am finishing up the George Washington figure from Fife and Drum miniatures.  A most beautiful figure and a joy to paint.  The completed command stand tomorrow!

Sir William Howe and Mrs Loring

To command my Crown Forces army here is the command figure of Sir William Howe.  It is a beautiful figure from Fife and Drum miniatures.

To go with Howe I have painted a figure of a lady in a  riding habit to represent Mrs Loring.  I thought it would be fun to add her to a command stand vignette.  Perhaps a couple of General or staff officers trying to get orders from a distracted  General Howe.  We will see how it comes out!

Cornwallis and Generals

Some more command figures for the Crown Forces.  Here is the figure of Earl Cornwallis and also two other General officers.  Outstanding figures from Fife and Drum Miniatures.


Here is the figure of Cornwallis.  It actually looks remarkably like his paintings!  In my games he will be either commanding his southern army or the "elite wing" (Guards, Grenadiers and Light Infantry) of Howe's army.

Next are two generic mounted officers.  These will be used in command vignettes.

American Generals and Staff

Working on some command stands for my American Revolution War armies.  Fife and Drum miniatures have released some excellent command figures including figures of Washington, Greene, Howe and Cornwallis. I am most excited as these four are some of my favorite commanders during this period.

For higher level command stands I am going with two figures per division level stand. So both Greene and Cornwallis will will have a ADC staff figure on their stand.  Washington will have a extra officer and a trooper with his command flag in a nice vignette.  Howe will have something similar.

Right now I am painting away in American figures.  In the work bench are Greene, two mounted officers and a trooper of the 3rd continental light dragoons.  These are beautiful figures that are fun to paint.
