| Amazing how phone cameras have improved in 10 years. |
Ten years ago, my good buddy Bob and I started a new project of the Glorious Revolution in 28mm. To afford this ambitious project, we went a little out of period to the uniforms of the Age of Marlborough plastic figures from the then new Wargames Factory. A few years ago, Bob moved to the far reaches of the Empire, Canada to be precise. This meant reducing his figure collection to fit his new space and I am the lucky inheritor of his Glorious Revolution Jacobite's.
Unlike me, Bob is a very practical gamer who likes to use whatever he has around to base his figures with. If you need to understand my occasional over the top style, take a look at the Dog Wars bases. One thing that I like is for figures to have the same basing style, so they blend in together on the table. To this end, and because I needed to reorganize his figures in boxes I could store on my shelves, I began this latest project. I was also inspired to get on with this by Archduke Piccolo's latest blog post. Archduke Piccolo: Yet another Blast from the Past...

This is just the beginning with another mase of artillery, cavalry, infantry and officers to complete. Time for me to dig in and get these back on the table where all figures belong. Stay tuned for further developments.
