They are currently mounted on gaming bases, but I will probably need to remove them and place them individually on a dirt road in the background. I also need to replace the flags, which would most likely be cased for an administrative move like marching around camps. I have nearly 100 Old Glory figures that will help fill out this unit. Eventually I plan to have a column of about 200 men marching and another unit of about equal size in formation at attention or at ease.
I also had some visitors this weekend. On Friday Andy Sperandeo and Paul Dolkos stopped by for a visit. On Sunday Brian and Jake Brendel visited the layout. This was Jake's first visit. I fired up the layout, but things were running a bit rough, as the track was dirty from all the ballasting and construction work. Things ran much better after I cleaned the tracks.

Welcome aboard.
ReplyDeleteThe ruin is the former RF&P Falmouth station.
Just read every post- very impressive work!
ReplyDeleteI think you were misinformed, I believe those are Sash and Saber, not Old Glory.
I thought I recognized some of the figures from my Old Glory stock, but you may be right. I don't have any Sash and Saber 28mms.
ReplyDeleteI recognized a few Sash and Saber figs, but it could be a mixture of the two.
ReplyDeleteJosiah, I forgot to commend you for reading the whole blog! That is an achivement.
ReplyDeleteLeonard Albright is the painter. He has painted a number of troops for me, from Alexander the Great to Jan Sobieski. He is one of the best.
ReplyDeleteI like how you worked Jan Sobieski into the comment. Now, where are the winged hussars?
