It's actually a Minifigs 17th Century Coach that I'm using for a command vignette with some Hinchliffe figures for my ECW Armies - all modified to some extent. This is inspired by vague recollections of pictures of Newcastle's coach at Marston Moor - I may be mistaken but the idea has taken such firm root in my mind I'm doing it anyway.
This and the other works in progress (WiP) had all been stalled by the thought of upcoming Jury Duty which had killed my painting mojo stone dead. But it turned out I only spent a few days at the court before being released as I didn't get selected for a jury on any of the cases (they call up more jurors than needed as some are excused, some are challenged, and some are 'no shows'). All that sulking for nothing - I really need to stop stewing about stuff and just get on with my life.
Anyway, the other WiPs mentioned above include some more Hinchliffe mounted commander figures (one-piece castings) many with head-swaps and Byron with a pistol added in his hand.
The 'empty horses' in the above are for Thomas Fairfax ...
... and Arthur Haselrig - a head-swap and trying for a 'browned' armour look.
In parallel with this lot, I'm also expanding my single base of clubmen into a three-base unit, all Minifigs.
Rather unlikely, but I couldn't resist fabricating a scythe for one of them.
