Meanwhile, just off Juno Beach...

A section of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles moves inland on D-Day.

Dodgy photoshopped background so that I could put in my Tabletop Workshop chapel as well! Figures are Warlord Games Plastic Brits painted as Canadians, with fiddly unit insignia decals on the arms.

Ancient Britons

And next up and primed this morning, some cavalry.

American Civil War Union Infantry

76th Pennslyvania Volunteer Infantry (Keystone Zouaves) - Click the pics for bigger.

With 8th New York (Duryee's Zouaves) and a regiment in normal issue kit.

Viking Warband

28mm figures by Gripping Beast - finished last October, click the pictures to make them bigger.

Romans and Men-at-Arms

Actually finished something off, so I've changed this blog into a general painting blog rather than just large scale busts. Finished off two units of troops, one Classical and one Medieval. Click the pics to enlarge.

First up, Roman Legionaries - plastic figures from Warlord Games.

...and secondly Mounted Men-at-Arms from Fireforge Games.

More on the ECW Cavalryman

Completed the metallic parts (breastplate, buckle and helmet), and the buff coat. Still to do: Leather straps, sash, hair, helmet visor.

Royalist Cavalryman

Having abandoned large scale figure painting for a while (and the SCW figure) I've started on this Royalist Cavalryman from El Greco Miniatures. The visor ofthe helmet is a separate piece and will be fitted after the face is finished. Below is another view of the face, on which I need to finish the facial hair.
