The 2nd Infantry has now been reorganized and their uniforms have been slightly modernized.

| Umm, the lighting wasn't great, and I was tired. The coats are dark blue, not black! |
Anyway, a mix of home cast of my own sculpting, and 4 Scruby figures from Historifigs.
Now for some new cavalry!
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.
Looking forward to seeing them in action, not to mention the forthcoming cavalry.

The cavalry are up next, then the dice will roll.
DeleteVery smartly turned out and definitely look dark blue not black.
ReplyDeleteThanks,...... but I'll try to get better lighting when the armies roll on.
DeleteHi Ross,
ReplyDeleteSplendid work! They look dead sharp and properly turned out—and the coats definitely read as a rich dark blue! There’s something extra special about mixing your own custom home castings with classic Scruby figures. Looking forward to seeing the new cavalry.
All the best, Andy
Thanks. The new cavalry were picked up at a rummage sale at a Con about a decade ago. Hard plastic ACW from a German company, probably in the 60's or 70's.
DeleteA ten-year stay in the reserve pile makes their tabletop debut all the sweeter.
DeleteAll the best, Andy
Excellent looking unit looking forward to seeing them in action.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It'll probably be a week or more.
DeleteRoss, these are great figures. How long ago did you buy the figures from Historifigs? I was thinking about getting some figures from them, but I have been a bit wary. These look fantastic. Looking forward to seeing them in action.
