Well here is the Continental Artillery. One gun and Crew come with the Continental Brigade Army box (as does one for the British Brigade Army box). Having only gun suits me just fine right now as I need to focus on the infantry and the most I will need for the Southern Campaign is two guns if I want to place the guns in different places.
I did the basing technique that I used with the 1st Maryland and the rest of the Epic troops. The only difference is that I accidentally (whoops!) cut the pegs of the pieces when I removed them from the strip.
I was admiring my paint job (humble aren't I?) and I hadn't noticed that I had accidentally cut the pegs off yet. I need to cover up the holes that the pegs were supposed to go in; I used the technique that I use with slotta bases. I just use some masking tape or painters tape to cover the holes.
Then I looked at the identical frame, though in red, that is with the British Brigade as I was getting ready to prime the figures for the 33rd Regiment of Foot . . .
Oh the artillery does have pegs . . .
Anyway . . . let's finish the base and get them on the table.
Still to come from the Brigade box are rifle-armed troops, a unit of Virginia State troops, Continental/Militia cavalry and 2-3 units of militia.
