These are Old Glory figures. You can buy them dead cheap in a packet of 30 with the Old Glory Army card. These shields are hand painted. Don't do it! It took far longer than painting the actual figure. I am on the look out for shield transfers for the other units.
Lace 'n Big Hats is a diary of my lead adventures. The title comes from a remark of Martin Rapier, a member of TMP. Lace 'n Big Hats aggregates historical periods such as the Lace wars, Seven years war, Napoleonic Wars etc, which had this elaborate dress as one common factor. I like the phrase so much I am thinking of using it as a name for a rule set I am working on. My historical interests are actually a bit broader, so I will be throwing in bits and pieces from WW2 and even the Modern era.

Hand-painted shield!?! No way! Amazing work. When I first saw the images, I wondered what decals/transfers you used to fit OG. Superbly done, Sir!
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing. I thought they were decals. I can imagine they took a long time to paint! Great work!
DeletePainting the shields took three times the length of time it took to paint the figures. Those people who invented the shield transfer were on to a good thing.
DeleteI'm on the look out for transfers for the other nine units!
Hand painting those shields is astonishing, I thought they were transfers, too. Very well done!
DeleteOutstanding work, especially with the shields!
