For whatever reason, I've been on fire lately. It is amazing what can be accomplished when the "hobby high" kicks in. You know, that feeling when everything is working according to plan. Things are exceeding your expectations. This generally occurs right before the crash and the "hobby block" takes over. Everyone knows that feeling! So, while it's working, I managed to finish off 4 more stands of my Road to Kings Mountain project. As you will see, all the pieces will work together, to form a representation of the various militias that met at Hannah's Cowpens. From there, they proceeded to Kings Mountain and the battle. Counting the Sentry piece, this makes 5 completed. I have 2 or 3 more to do and I'll have finished. I used a lot of different ground covers for this, attempting to get the feel of the backwoods trails that these men would have known. I made all of the terrain including the grass patches and tufts.

Very nice!

Gorgeous vignettes! Old Glory sculpts can be deceiving. Unpainted, they may appear somewhat crude. Give them even a basic paint job, and they can look quite good. Yours look marvelous!

Hey, you've probably painted one of my ancestors. They served with Colonel Campbell.
