I am now diving into the Continental Army Box for Epic Revolution from Warlord Games and will be doing "3" units at the same time: a Continental Infantry Regiment, a Continental artillery piece and a Continental Brigade Commander. First up are some decapitations!
The generic infantry sprue comes with components that allow you to build either Continental or British units. I know that some Continental and States troops had drummers with bearskin mitre caps, but I want my first Continental unit to have a drummer with a tricorn.
I had just received for Christmas the British Infantry Brigade Box which also has a generic sprue. The artillery has the option of having the Royal Artillery wear the leather helmet. Since I was going to do my Royal Artillery with the leather helmets . . . OF WITH HIS HEAD!
I recommend that you do the head swap before you prime (I forgot) but this shows the new head on the drummer. I turned the head slightly just to give the strip some more animation.
Since I was decapitating heads, I took another from the Royal Artillery, chopped off one of the American/Militia Cavalry heads and added the tricorn to the cavalry to add some variety.
The figure on the sprue.
I forgot to mention that I used a sharp hobby knife to take off the heads and regular model glue (I use Testors) to glue the head.
Now to start painting.
