Dillon Regiment

Steve Allen finished painting the second of my Irish regiments. I collected them at York but I had given him 3 figures too few so I had to paint 3 up to blend in and base.
The flags are by Mark Allen.

The 'at ready' poses are becoming my favorite pose - all standing and they look fine as a marching/advancing unit, this mix is more of a defensive nature but looks good.
Now I also have the two firing figures there's all sorts of combinations to try, I may even have a go at a three rank deep unit :)

Salute 2016 pre.order offer

Now I'm safely back from my son's engagement party in Chicago time to start getting ready for Salute.

First pre.order offer anyone who places an order over £40 for collection at Salute receives a healthy 15% discount. This doesn't apply to the regiment or brigade packs. Just enter the code Salute16 at checkout on the web shop.

The code activates tomorrow and runs to the 9th April.

Also a couple of pics.
21st fusiliers by customer Steve Allen, using the fusilier heads I have had cast - not in the shop yet but if anyone wants some just e.mail



Then there's some Garde Francais command Ioannis painted in lieu of some figures he'd bought :)
Hopefully more new pieces out in time for Salute.
