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....
This blog will will contain my rather pedantic ramblings on my experiences within the miniature war gaming hobby. There will be informative how-to’s, thrilling battle reports and thought provoking editorials. I fully expect that history will one day view the contents of this blog on par with Homer’s Illiad or Newton’s Principalia. Or it's a complete waste of time.

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!!!
