Yesterday I completed the colours for my Irish Guards, which are now twelve figures strong. The castings are pre-1950 lead CRESCENT figures, so I was tempted to rename them the Crescent Guards. I have also included a photo of four somewhat larger castings, painted up as Scots Guards. The Irish Guards ensign was originally a bassoon bandsman. Easy job to drill out the hands, add a sword, and milliput a sash.

Have just completed fourteen of the twenty-seven figures recently acquired. They comprise four American infantry musicians, which gives me two complete regiments of twelve. Ensign and musicians for the Irish Guards, it too now musters twelve. And I have also re-raised the Detroit Light Infantry, my previous version was a rather ad hoc unit which ended up being drafted into other units. I'm a lot happier with this new recreation, and they will be serving as skirmishers.
