I really do need to get caught up with pictures for the Gallery; here are a couple of units of militia by Steve Lampon using a mix of figures from Anglo-American Militia packs 1-3 and Settlers Defending pack 1.

A very nice figure, very easy to paint. 

Painted by Ed Clark 

 

I finished my first French and Indians War figure from Galloping Major Wargames.  I modeled him after an American Provincial Soldier circa 1760.  Paint scheme is taken from both the New Jersey "Jersey Blues" and Massachusetts Provincial Regiment of the era.  I thoroughly enjoyed researching before I began painting. The 28mm metal figure itself is outstanding and I really look forward to painting many more by Lance at GM.  
About the flag: The flag is the Taunton Flag from Massachusetts.  It represents a key desire of the time period for the Colonies to remain loyal to England, but at the same time enjoy Englishmen liberties and status (e.g. taxation with representation).  The flag itself would come into being around this time as the Americans began to think about breaking from England.  I like the flag a lot, it is very well done by Flags of War.

Galloping Major 'soldiers free' figure, first of the new Old West range from Lance. Lovely figure to slap some paint on.

Painted by Gary Strombo

Gary Strombo orders his Galloping Major figures from Loyalhanna Outpost and has them, his paints and basing materials shipped to him in at a US FOB in Afghanistan, where he is serving. He paints them in his off duty hours, then ships them back home ready for him when he gets back. Gary says:

"Still need to seal and finish the bases, but I am very happy with how they turned out.
I had another of the extra characters and painted him this time as an English officer in charge of 2 different companies of Militia. I am still waiting for FIW BPT5 to come in, and will add them to these units.
I like these dudes so much that I almost considered ordering a bunch and painting them as English and French Regulars! But I am patient (not really) and will wait for yours to come out!"

 

Painted by Richard Holden

Richard set himself a challenge, to paint all the figures he needed for a planned game of Muskets & Tomahawks in a week, several dozen figures from 3 manufacturers, including, of course, Galloping Major.

 

He completed his task in time, and rewarded himself by buying more Galloping Major figures - his favourites.

John writes:

I live in Riverside California. I've always been tempted by the 7 Years War era especially French and Indian. These are really nice figures. Great job on this line. I can't wait for the miltia especially the command. The ones I've painted were combined with some scenic photos I've taken using Photoshop Elements. The terrain was actually from Yellowstone National Park but I have only been east of the Mississippi once. I tend to paint everything and then wash it with a very thin black paint then repaint over the highlighted areas.

 

Painted by Michael Leck

 

Michael Leck is a customer in Sweden. When I saw the first pictures of our Mohawk he'd been painting starting to appear on his blog, I knew they should appear in our Gallery. I've been rather delayed in getting pictures up on here of late, resulting in me having loads of new pictures to put up, so here are a sizeable batch from Michael:

 

 including a selection of his wargames pictures:

 

and ending up with a Provincial he decided to paint as a Ranger, and a unit of Canadian Militia belonging to his friend and opponent Jonas.

 

More painted by Derek Richardson 

 

Derek decided to paint his Provincials in a rather smart green as New York Independents, commanded by a regular staff officer. Below: pictures of their first outing against Canadian Militia and settlers in the role of habitants, in a trial game of Muskets & Tomahawks.

As well as a couple more pictures of his Pennsylvania Regiment men in green, here are his secong unit of provincials - The New Jersey Regiment, in blue; another customer finding a good use for the "Soldiers Free" Colonial Officer.

Settlers Defending and Mohawk in full black warpaint - a bold move. You'll find more batches of Russell's work further down this page.

Painted by Steve Lampon

First I feel I should apologise as it has been a while since I have shown any new pictures of painted figures on this page, especially to those customers whose work has been available but hasn't been shown yet.

In an attempt to catch up a bit, here are a collection of great pictures from customer Steve Lampon, starting out with the new Provincials painted as the Pennsylvania Regiment.  Steve says:

"These are the new provincials from Galloping Major painted as the Pennsylvania Regiment. These are lovely figures - better even than the rangers IMO."

Rangers Command (FIW RC1 made up of packs FIW RAN3 Command & Characters and FIW PP1 Major Robert Rogers and the "Soldiers Free" Ranger), and Mohawk pack FIW MOH1.

A French raiding force made up of Canadian Militia packs FIW FCM1, 2 & 3 and Huron Command pack FIW HUR3.

Since we received the first couple of shots of Norman D's Dunn's Rangers, we were delighted to receive more, showing additional members of the unit, scroll down to see these and the work of some other great painters in a variety of styles and treatments.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Norman D. Landings says:

"Figures from FIWRAN1, 2, & 3, painted as New Jersey Frontier Guard (Dunn's Rangers) using Humbrol & Revell acrylic paints, Soft Tone 'Army Painter' dip, & Galloping Major's painting guide."

 "Hurons (and a few Soldiers Free) from Galloping Major. Accuracy, poses, and "character" are all there in spades IMO."

Loads of lovely detail in the painting of this Mohawk character - we're looking forward to seeing more.

 

Painted by Russell Gregory 

Galloping Major. By far my favorite maker of little men. This range just seems to fit my perception of the period to a tee. I ordered one of everything this winter and am working my way through them with a smile on my face.

Painted by Derek Richardson

Derek has become a frequent contributor to this page. Here are some of his rangers, including one figure from FIW RAN3 Ranger Command & Characters.

Painted by Russell Gregory

Huron. This is the second set of Indians I've done and the first with any experience in 28mm behind me, if painting all of 19 models counts as experience. I used a wash on these, which I didn't on my previous Mohawks, and I think it helps to soften the skin tones and helps define the muscles in a way my brushwork doesn't.

 

Mohawk. One of the toughest parts for me is picking out the right colors to use, not necessarily paint shades but general colors. I'm getting more comfortable picking them out, but a uniform is very easy to decide upon. It's really the freedom to choose that I'm coming to grips with.

 

Painted by Richard Watts

Since adding the pictures and comments below, Richard has sent us these "hot off the painting bench" ranger pics.
