I've started my next US War of 1812 unit, which is a US Rifle battalion. I choose to do the 4th US Rifles as I like the grey uniform - it's a bit different than the standard "dark green" most rifle units get. Besides I will eventually have the Glengarry Lights on the British side, who wore dark green, so a little bit of color difference will help players keep track of who's who on the table top.
This unit will have 36 figures, of which 6 are 90%+ complete and the others are about 1/3 of the way done. I should get these completed over the course of the weekend and submitted to Curt for the painting competition.
Back to the workbench....

Nice choice - I agree, the grey looks very "US" for 1812; as well as contrasting the British green-jackets. I try to balance colors for opposing units too. Best, Dean
Looking good! Makes a nice change from all that blue!
Well it looks like you will be coasting in front of me, I am about 50% DONE MY 32 figure group if you ignore the shields, oh joy.
Yours looks good as well!!!
