ECW Royalist Leaders

It's the Royalist Leaders turn for a bit of show and tell....

A rather more flamboyant group than the Parliamentarians, for sure!

The stockier figure in the top hat is another long ago gift from Joe, IIRC, and is supposed to be of King Charles. It is re purposed here.

My own Minifigs King Charles and company.

 I think the mauve coated bloke may be yet another Charles wanna be...

Once again, some filler applied to the thin base does look more realistic than just my usual flock on MDF. Don't get used to it, though! :-)

"Colonels"; three more Dixon figures from Joe, and three new Old Glory ones.

A fine assortment of cavalier leaders.

"Do you like the jaunty angle of my hat? "
"Good God, Sir, that's so 1640!"

Some red and violet flowering tufts on the Royalist bases.

The puppies (now, at about 18 weeks old, weighing in at circa 40 pounds) go for am early April  swim, along with the older dogs,  at nearby Lake Waramaug.

The weather was beautiful, but the water was COLD. Brooke liked the water right away, but our Maddie was less sure.

View across the lake, one of the prettiest in the state, with canines.

View the other direction.

and then the view North from the Warren Town Beach.

After the swim, we stopped off at the nearby Hopkins Vineyards, overlooking the lake, for some wine tasting and puppy socialization. 

Across the street is the Hopkins Inn; dining there overlooking the Lake, especially in the summer when you can eat outside on the huge flagstone patio, is always an  event:  http://www.thehopkinsinn.com/
