This morning, made minor convertions to the hats of 6 AWI Brit Lt Inf figures to have them look like the 4th Lt. Inf. unit.

Then painted gray socks, and dull black gaiters and shoes.  Had a desire to paint their reds coats, yet resisted for the current moment.

Pulled out and organized some 40mm AWI figures to see what units would be possible. Had forgotten what I had, even discovering there were extra figures for another light infantry group.

This was mostly about determining what I had for colonials, get them sorted into units, and as it turns out, there's quite a bit to do for painting.  There were more figures available than I recalled ... lol.

So ... this past weekend, while packing up my pickup truck, I managed to drop 2 of 4 trays of medieval figures.  Needless to say, yet it is what it is, many figures lost arms, weapons, and a couple bodies broke in half too.

I have spent the evening working on getting them fixed with glue, and just in time for this weekend's convention, as well as beyond.

Nothing hobby relayed today.  So only 2 days for me this week.

However, the 250th anniversary re-enactment at Lexington was a good morning.  A powerful morning.
