I hope you don't mind me posting a few pics of my soldiers here and a link to my blog should you wish to see more :-)

This collection is still growing … daily. The individual figure basing seemed like a good idea at the time!

That is great paint work Lee. You can always use movement trays ;)

Great painting, but wish you had based them as units. This would work for skirmishing. As Grossman say, you can get some movement trays, but you would likely have to scratch make them.

You and Fat Wally need to converse. Similar paint styles.. Looking great! :-)

Lovely work indeed! Did you make your own flags or buy them?

Thank you very much for all of the comments, it is much appreciated :-)

I find the Peter Pig figures just suit my painting style perfectly and I can knock them out at a fair speed! I have changed from a black undercoat to a white undercoat which is then inked over in Sepia before painting and it really speeds things up and takes most shades over it very well.

I was inspired by Kev's (FW's) wonderful collection, and he introduced me to the use of 'Magic Wash' which gives a nice effect of depth to the final affect although I use it sparingly.

Flags are downloaded/printed from here (scroll right down to the AWI flags, they are very good):

- I need to replace several of the American flags as I just used up the ones I had.

Here's some shots of my Americans.
