Work in Progress

Getting a few things done during my time at home. The loyalist line is coming all my very nicely.  The New York Volunteers is painted and based.  I am waiting for the flags I ordered to arrive and then they are done.

The Volunteers of Ireland are almost done painting.  I still have the flags to add and then put grass on the bases.  These were very finicky figures to paint but I like them.

Lastly I have a group of the 20th Regiment painted.  Very good figures and the start of yet another campaign for me!

I will be posting some additional pictures from my Rev War collection in the next couple days in honour of July 4th. 

More to follow.
