  1. Your AWI collection looks superb Lee - maybe I should be doing mine in 15mm too, instead of the 28mm I am currently painting - trouble is, I already have all the Brits and Hessians in 28mm from 15 years ago.....!

    1. Some fine AWI ranges out there in all scales! I'm drawn to the Peter Pigs as I really like the sculpting style and especially those little faces :) My interest began back in the late Seventies with the Hinchliffe AWI range.

  2. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ Great job. They all look impressive. I trust you painted the Brits with extra special care though, the rebellious Colonials less so πŸ˜‰
    Cheers,

    1. Thanks Geoff. I'm trying to be even handed whilst hoping that those dastardly Militia chaps do not 'spoil' our fine uniforms.
