Charlie Miles...

So here is Militiaman Number Two..."Charlie Miles".  I think I took his name, at least in part, from the "Miles Matheson" character from Revolution.  At first I didn't consider where the "Charlie" came from, but just realized (just now!) that "Charlie" is the name of Miles' niece in the show (Charlie is short for "Charlotte" in the series...and no, that does not apply to the miniature!!)  Subconsciously I must have put the two names together when coming up with the name!

Which, by the way, Miles Matheson was at one time, part of the Monroe Militia (in the show that is).

Note:  If you look, you can see "rust" on his powder barrel...








The Wooden Bridge...

So, here is Bridge Number One (of four).  All will be about the same.  Check out the post following this one for more bridge photos.



The Huron Base...

Here is the completed Huron Base.  Originally wanted a rubber "turtle" stamp for this, but since one could not be found, had to hand paint.  Actually didn't turn out too bad...


The War of 1812 Marches On...

Well, I am on the downhill side.  I have, as of today, finished the 7th miniature needed to play "War of 1812"...just five more to go (3 Militia and 2 Indians).  What was to be accomplished over Christmas break has turned into quite a project.

Most, if not all of the cards are done for the game.  The rules are written (and printed at that...all 20 pages!!)

I still have several of the Waypoints to finish....The Fort Magoon Ruins, Isaac's Well, The Fire Pit, Ichabod's Grave...but all fun to create.

The Huron Base is complete and the first of four bridges done.  I believe I only have the Mohican and Delaware base to go.  All in good time.  Maybe by March...we shall see...
