A command stand and some odds and ends! War of three Kingdoms 29

 I started this chap for the Analogue Hobbies painting challenge for local history but didn't finish him in time, he was meant to be a New Model Army officer as where I  live in Hertford is where the New Model Army were bivouaced in 1647 and  a mutiny broke out  between Leveller inspired soldiers, who for some reason  objected to being demobilised  without back pay,and Fairfax and Cromwell who proceeded to put it down.  The officer has a personal sash rather than an army specific one and has the Leveller hat band, or might that just be a coincidence? A nice Foundry figure, I've painted this figure before and incorporated him into a cavalry unit and got him off Des as he doesn't like having duplicate figures, I'm less bothered! He'll do for any mid seventeenth century force I think?

This other infantry officer has been almost finished for an age so I thought I'd put him out of his misery as I was in a mid seventeenth century mood, he will be useful to replace another Warlord games figure, the ensign with the red regiment flag, as he's so English whereas with this chap , change the flags and the world, or at least Europe is our lobster!

J got asked to do a cake topper for my wife's niece's wedding, fun if slightly challenging on the sculpting front for me, the happy couple and their cat, I'd say their about 1/25 scale, tenous connection to the rest of this post is that the grooms parents live on the road believed to be the site of the mutiny !

All the best
