ECW - Parliamentary Officers

For King and Parliament  can require a fair amount of Leaders, and definitely more than I had, so I got two sets of the Old Glory Senior officers, and selected the more suitable figures for each side (Old Glory also makes specific personality sets as well). 

Six of these figures are Old Glory; the base 2nd from the right is the Minifigs version of Oliver Cromwell, with a spare trooper; those figures were recycled and rebased onto suitable round bases. . 

The Old Glory set has quite a nice variety of poses and costume. 2 figures per base indicates a "General" in FK&P terms.

I used white and yellow Tufts on the bases for the Parliamentarian leaders.

Rebased Minifgs;  in this case the Minifigs version of Sir Thomas Fairfax serves as the Army commander, if I recall correctly.

3 figures per base represents an Army commander for FK&P purposes. As King Charles is invariably seen with his Cavalier spaniel, I decided that this time it should be the Parliamentary C-in-C going to the dogs!

I mistakenly purchased the ultra thin 1.5 mm plywood for these bases; the good thing is that allows me to build up and fill the bases wirh spackling compound, which makes the base a bit more realistic looking.



I will use these singly mounted leaders use as "Colonels" in FK&P.

Three of them are Dixon (IIRC) figures Joe had given me nearly 20 years ago.

 The other two are newly painted  Old Glory figures. 

First crocuses; these are the lavender petalled "Firefly" variety, which bloom especially early., and are always the first blooms of Spring on our property.
