Even with the recent cyclone that crossed the coast in the northern suburbs of Brisbane and the attendant disruption it caused, mainly from a sense of anticipation rather than too much physical damage, I managed to finish another three Continental regiments to bring the total so far to eight units completed:
First off the production line is the 2nd Connecticut regiment which joins the already completed 1st Connecticut, and is my last unit of Perry plastics:
Again wearing rounded hats, this regiment appears to have been attired in brown coats with white facings as opposed to its red-coated sister regiment:
The GMB flag for the 2nd Connecticut is a quite striking blue flag:
Next up is my fourth Massachussets regiment in Warner's regiment:
I relied entirely upon the Perry painting guide for this unit as it had caught my eye with what appeared to be light purple or violet facings which I thought looked good against the brown coats. At least that is what it looked like in the guide, which is good enough for me. There was another green-coated New York regiment called Warner's regiment which had the nickname of the Green Mountain Boys, but that appears to have been a different unit:
The last unit is the 1st New York regiment, also of 24 figures:
It was quite noticeable after painting plastics how much thicker the bayonets are on metal figures, which is necessary to strengthen them:
The flags for the 1st New York are again quite eye-catching:
I also completed the penultimate casualty dial. A dynamic figure who could almost be carrying a beer instead of a musket in his hand, and dancing at a wedding:
That is another seventy-one figures completed in just over two and a half weeks, which I was quite pleased with:
Next up, the last three Continental line regiments.
