American War of Independence

[Rich W]

A few early attempts at the AWI theme. I'm happy with my grenadiers, but not so much the regulars. Any feedback or advice always welcome.

Thanks for looking.

[MABO]

I like them and I think, in the meantime it is no longer possible for me, to offer tips to you. The only think is that I made some experiements with stronger highlights. Maybe this might be something for the red colour...

[Peter]

I like them.

I've painted one of their bigger brothers some time ago:

I like them, too. Inks/Washes is always a topic, but depends on taste etc.
What disturbs you with the regulars?

Yours, TK

Those look great - nothing wrong with the regulars, in my opinion, and the painting stands up very well in your close ups. I really enjoy painting redcoats but can't think of anything to suggest that could improve on what you have done!

[panzerman825]

Nicely painted figures. Wash really brings out the details. Only suggestion I have would be some light color drybrushing on the boots and brown backpacks. Bill

Thank you all for your positivity. I've now painted some A Call To Arms light infantry.

[C M Dodson]

Very nice, your forces are building rapidly.

Best wishes,

A very good paint job on these figures. For my part I only wish that ACTA had made them a little bigger and more robust, but the Grenadiers in particular are in useful poses.

[Peter]

I like them! They will look beautifull with the others you have painted! Go on paint some more!

[Photoro Man]

Great painting, I gotta join the other's comments.
Only suggestion when it comes to historical accuracy: Light Infantry has to wear red vests beneath the regimental coat, not white.
But that's up to the artist, all good! Keep us posted!

Here are some Imex British artillery. Not the nicest of sets ever made and quite tall compared to the rest of the AWI range.

[Bill Slavin]

What is it with lanky artillerymen? The Revell WWII 105mm German set come to mind, along with Italeri’s Napoleonic British. You’ve done a fine job with these, however. They look great!

[Minuteman]

Some very pleasing paintwork on the artillerymen!

I have to say that the IMEX AWI artillery sets are not the greatest in my view, and the gun carriages themselves are very small and possibly therefore not historically accurate. The wheels are fine as limber wheels however, and the barrels are OK on different mountings as very light artillery.

Nice...Reminds me of diorama from movie Taking chances from 2009 in which a guy works in local museum in his town...

[Susofrick]

Nice continuation on this!

[Peter]

That artillery looks great (big, giants... )

Here are some American militia from Revell/Accurate. A great set, shame there's no other good sets out there to compliment this one.

[C M Dodson]

Very nice work indeed.

Best wishes,

Chris
