Rockets Away.....!

A very quick note to accompany the attached pictures, which illustrate the sublime to the ridiculous. Finished these two units for the War of 1812 today. Firstly a Royal Marine Artillery rocket section. A few head swaps were needed to get the (almost) right headgear. RMA other ranks wore blue, officers red. The other picture is the 7th New York Dragoons, a tiny militia unit. I had a couple of spare plastic Perry British Light Dragoons bits, with tarleton heads, so why not add a splash of colour? I might do the Boston Hussars next!




I have another 1812 game on Saturday , which I’m looking forward to.
