Here is the latest work from the epoxy pits.  I am learning and  making some of my own figures for the War of 1812.  I have been getting some advice (well a lot) from Forest at Knuckleduster.  These figures are all brave patriots who are resisting the invader.
 

 
Left to right - three dollies for infantry, a drummer torso, an enthusiastic patriot, a militia man and an infantry torso. 
 
 
 Some Dolly work on figures from Knuckleduster and a casualty sitting on the ground (Think Brock at Queenston Heights).   The third from the left is a Highland Seargent - see the sash over the left shoulder. 


More Highlanders  -  the great Highland Bagpipe, a man without his bonnet at support arms, a skirmisher running and a dolly at shoulder arms
 

 
Brock, a highland officer and a few charging dollies. 

 
 Please feel free to comment.

The fighting in the Nigara Peninsula was not really good for either country.  There was a scorched earth campaign, and regretably many Civilians were killed and dehoused.

 
 
At Chippewa, the English lie low and await the invaders.

 
At a turning point for the battle - the yankee line is moving to outflank the 100th  Foot. 

 
And that night in the laager - an army marches on its stomach - and wargame umpires march with bottles

Much like a wargame convention I attend the American Concrete Institute meeting semi annually.  here is a photo-montage of what is needed - name badge, phone, not so smart phone, power supply, aspirin, business cards, pencil program and hotel key.

Lots of photos pending....
