Here are some Perry Dragoons that I'm working on for a local gaming buddy. He wants them in Spanish brown cloth. I'm thinking the trumpeter should be in reverse facing colors and maybe the officer - in bearskin - should be in green. I'll ask him if this is okay.
In addition to these six mounted figures, I'll also paint up some of the foot figures too. He only asked for the mounted, but I told him I don't mind painting the foot guys too.
On the gaming front, I will meet a few new to the area gamers this Sunday at
The Game Matrix for to get in some WH The Great War. Pat moved up from Southern Cal; and Tom from Connecticut, I think. The following Saturday is a game day at
Fort Steilacoom for the second annual Fix Bayonets! I will host a Sharp Practice game in the afternoon.
Can't see why the trumpeter shouldn't be in a reversed coat, looking forward to seeing them finished. I've painted up loads of Napoleonic units, its always nice painting an unusual colour for a uniform, away from the norm.
ReplyDeleteHope the show goes well and always good to meet new gamers.
ReplyDeleteI would paint the trumpeter in reverse colours too. Looking forward to photos of the finished unit.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gents. I just got the "green light" to give the officer a green coat and the trumpeter reversed colors. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteYour a good friend to have to paint mini's for him and good luck at the show!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the sentiments; he's such a strong supporter and leader for the local gaming community, I took it as an honor to do it - like a small token of appreciation for all he has, and continues to do for the local gamers. Best, Dean
