28MM Airborne Figures

My 28mm American Airborne along with the Fallschrimjaeger opponents for the TFL game "Troops, Weapons and Tactics"

Another switch in direction

Last month, after posting the pictures of my current projects it suddenly dawned on me I have a Demo game coming up real quick. I'm running Sharp Practice at Conquest in Santa Clara California on Labor Day weekend. I did have some figures purchased last winter which I never got around to painting for my spring demo in Sacrament for lack of time. To spice up the scenarios I've added some French Hussars, the 10th Regt. actually along with another Big Man.

Pictured to the right is the group of 8 Hussars and Big Man along with a 28mm figure so you can get the scale of the 40mm Perry's and Sash and Saber figures. Still an hour or two of detailing on the figures to do and then the base detail.
I'm going to make an effort to add the 3 remaining horsemen before Labor Day and make it a 10 figure group with trumpeter and Officer.

I'm really enjoying painting up these bigger figures and intend to throw another group of British infantry on the painting table to balance out my forces for the next gaming session after the Con.

After that the fall/winter will find me back on the Mud and Blood WW1 figures to demo in March 2010.

Oh....I've forgotten completely about the ECW figures for either the skirmish rules or the larger scale rules the TFL group is working on.
