Good work - I'm looking forward to seeing your project develop. It's a shame that the Perrys didn't release plastic militia with a greater diversity of kit (I remember there being some rumours at the time they might) as the Wargames Factory (now Warlord) militia is great in concept but not execution. They have great looking militia in metal for the northern and southern campaigns but it's a bit annoying if you need a sizable quantity of militia. I have seen others use heads from the WGF plastic militia to diversify the Perrys plastic Continentals and I'm tempted to do so too.
I have some of the Northern Militia command in metal from the Perrys to lead this lot. I'm not made of money so plastics have to form the bulk of the militia! I might have some bits from the Warlord militia from an old project that could go into the mix.
I have seen a few videos on electronic pin vices and was wondered what your thoughts on them was . I have some victrix models that have standards and spears and they are very flimsy and I wanted to change them out. I do not even know where to start. I remember pinning parts together with a crappy pin vice back in the late ninety finding bits was hard and the tool wasn't very good. advice on this would be very helpful as well as a source for the shafts and a good pin vice
I actually use a hand-powered GW pin vice I bought back in the 90s... I use 1mm cobalt drill bits in it. I think the RUclips user Scruffy Crow did a video where he used the powered Tamiya hand drill for drilling out hands.

Looking forward to seeing the painting.
I hope you find it interesting when I get to it.
Great idea Rory. Keep meaning to get back into AWI myself and this would definitely be something I’d like to try. 👍
It was fun doing some conversions. Need to find the time to paint them on film now!
Some nice little kit bases
Cheers
Nice build and conversion
Thanks buddy
Very nice work!
Thanks very much.
thank you for taking the time to show the arms!
No problem. Hope you found it useful.
