AWI Progress; British Officers and some Terrain

I was lucky enough to have a childless weekend a short time ago, so had LOTS of time for painting.

Unfortunately, most of that painting was in the house taking care of a banister and stairway doing manly things like sanding, priming, painting, and staining.  It was a good time to do it since I wouldn't be interrupted and the kids wouldn't touch anything.  I accumulated a good quantity of hubby points. 

But it wasn't all chores and work, I managed to squeeze in some hobby stuff.  

AWI Progress: Officers and NCOs

Finishing up the British from my initial purchase,  here are the last 4 miniatures.

Here we have 2 NCOs.
I'm told their NCOs because they have fancy red sashes.
I really like the guy with his arm outstretched.

And here we have two officers that will lead the British forces.  Complete with fancy uniforms.

Two Officers.
I tried to give a little extra details to their coats and buttons.

I wish they had pistols

So that finished up my British for Muskets and Tomahawks.  The troops have been well photographed in previous posts so no need to retread that old road.  The total of the painted troops is:

2 Officers

2 NCOs

24 Regular Troops

12 Light Troops

Not too shabby.

Some Terrain

Taking a break from painting miniatures before I dive into the lead pile of Revolting Colonists, I decided to tackle some terrain projects.

I completed the stuff I ordered from Paul's Model Workshop.  First we have the two fields. 

The fields are nice resin pieces and were easy to do;
base coat, dry brush, cover with flock or shrubbery clumps.
72 clumps to be specific; I now because I used a whole pack from Army Painter 

I also painted up these wooden log piles that I ordered with  the fields.  4 come in the set and I seem to have lost one sadly.  I'll probably find it a year and half from now while looking for something else. 

Simple dry brush paint job but I like the way they came out.
Should help dress up the table some.

Putting Together the Buildings

I put together some of my AWI buildings that I ordered from Sarissa-Precision.   They went together pretty easily but overall they are pretty basic shells.  

WIP shot of the first house.
I added some shingles and some paint and now I'm deciding how to proceed.
 I stupidly glued it all together so that the roof doesn't come off.
Which makes it useless for skirmish games where troops can occupy buildings.
So it's now my Practice House, to try stuff out since it wont matter too much how it looks, 
because during games it will be placed somewhere away from the action.

Some more buildings waiting in the wings.
This is how they look before they get any love and attention. 

Be Safe Everyone

I now get tested for COVID every 2 weeks, where they shove a long hard swab down my throat. (You may insert you're own dirty joke here; I had several I was trying to make but couldn't decide on being rated PG-13 or R.).  I sincerely hope you are all doing well with minimal negative consequences from the impact of all this.  

Thanks for reading and looking at my mediocre paint jobs.  Keep safe and mentally healthy.
