Use Liquetex Matte Modelling Paste or Resin Sand, if you can find it. It never dries out like spackle and it wont chip. It sticks to everything and everything sticks to it. Somewhere on here, is my recipe for making ground mixtures. Basically, Resin Sand or Lightweight Matte Modelling Paste...

I finally finished my Volunteers of Ireland unit. I've had these kicking around the workbench for a while now. Feels good to finish them up. The basing here was tricky and I've attempted to replicate common SC terrain.I'm pleased with the way it turned out. I've also tried a new method of...

Here we have an officer of the 71 ST Highlanders guiding his men into the charge at Cowpens. Due to the narrow battlefield, the 71 ST collided with the 7 TH Regiment and were forced to move in an oblique. This officer is attempting to correct the situation by leading his troops away from the...

It's probably over 2 years since I received these beautifully painted Highlanders from the supremely talented Mr. Giles Allison. I have agonized over how to base them since then and have procrastinated repeatedly, due to my inability to make up my mind as to how to base them. The easiest figures...

I have decided that something has to give. I've run out of space and I need to part with some of my collections. First up, are Conte ACW sets. Most of these have never been out of their boxes. Which is why they have to go. There's no point in collecting, if you cant display your stuff. Frontline...

Someone requested a group shot of some of my pieces. This is a couple of shots of completed pieces. [url=https://postimg.org/image/v5xmfj3u3/][/

Here is the 2 nd. VA Militia Battalion at Cowpens. This unit was commanded by Major David Campbell and was placed on the main line, along with the Continentals, at Cowpens. Included in this unit were VA Rifleman, VA State Troops and a company of NC Riflemen. I've included more riflemen figures...

Here is the second unit of my Virginia troop. These are Triplett's VA Militia Battalion. Made up of many ex-Continentals, the VA Militia was steadfast, unlike most ordinary militia. The Virginians followed Morgan because he was one of them and they trusted him. Morgan thought so highly of the...

This is the first brigade of my Cowpens VA Battalion. These are the VA Continentals. The figures are (of course) my own Kings Mountain Miniatures. The exceptional painting was done by Aaron from Pensyltucky. You can see for yourself how he has brought these to life. The VA flag was an original...

I had to break this up due to picture limits.

Mounted Philly Associators slog their way down a rain swollen road. I wanted something different for my Philly Troop and decided on a muddy road scenerio. These are the results. This was a very difficult project. It required patience, which is something I am generally in short supply of. There...

Atlantic did some, I believe.

I've been sticking to the routine of finishing off one piece a day. This is the latest.* A Militia Officer rides ahead to meets with his advance scouts. Figures painted by John Bryant. The two mounted figures are conversions of Perry or Foundry AWI riders. I replaced the heads with KMM heads...

I've been making really good progress on my half completed mounted stuff. The mojo has been with me and I've been able to spend a few hours, every night, finishing these pieces off. Here's the latest. The figures are Old Glory and were purchased at an Historicon flea market in 2001, or so. No...

A couple of shots of the SC Light Horse Mounted Militia. I liked the color combination here. Came from a CMH plate. The figures are various Perry or Foundry that have been converted. I replace the original heads with Kings Mountain heads and I re-positioned arms. The horses are Ebob that he...

I finally got around to finishing this small piece. The figures are Perry AWI cavalry that I converted. I replaced the right arms with plastic arms carrying a musket. I wanted to represent men riding toward the sound of battle. The heads were replaced with my own KMM heads. Figure painted by...

I'm getting rid of all my metal ACW, because I have just run out of room. I need to make space for other projects. I have a lot Conte, Britains and Frontline. I'll start off with Conte because that's the first maker that I was able to make a list of. All sets are MIB and most have never been...

Yes those are Cherilea swopetts. They came in gray also.

I have the Hessians and all the Bussler and Schield AWI figures. When Dr. Bussler passed, I purchased a large lot from the Doctor's Son in Law, including some molds. I have early catalogs, 25 mm figures, wax masters and a couple of unreleased figures (ACW Zouaves). One of Doc's painters was a...

Yes, The same horses were used in the 7TH, the Cowboys and the Indians sets. They came with a separate saddle, that had reins attached to it. The reins slipped into the horses mouth, while the saddle was held in place by the rider. The horses have two holes in their sides to accept the pegs on...
