On and Off the Painting Desk This Week

I needed to add 2 more of Gorham's rangers to fit the plan, so now that's done. In the early days the friendly 1st Nations warriors were a large part  or the Rangers so they make up 1/2 of my rangers.

While I was at it, I rechecked my thin sources (no pieces of clothing remain and no contemporary paintings have been found so far), and lightened up the facings, tams, and small clothes.

While I had the camera in hand, I took a quick shot of some of the existing and in progress casualty markers.  

The two First Nations warriors were done on purpose more than a decade ago, but the rest are actual casualties injured on the tabletop or in transit and are going to be touched up and used as removed stand markers on table.

On the table now, is a refurbishing of some of my Compagnies Franches skirmishers.

The unpainted ones are fresh castings, the two painted Irregular Minis loading their muskets, have had their odd mini-bicorne heads removed and Prince August replacements attached. 

More Highlanders are next!
