This piece portrays Colonel Dan Morgan ordering Riflemen Tim Murphy into a tree in order to shoot General Simon Fraser, who is leading a British counterattack. Murphy was considered the best shot in the Riflemen Brigade and Morgan realized that the battle was slipping away when this brave British Officer took the field. Legend has it that it took 3 shots for Murphy to hit Fraser.
Anyway this was a fun piece to make. There are 2 companion pieces showing the rest of the Rifle Corps at Saratoga, under construction.
I'll show then when they are finished.
My other passion besides LOTR, is American History from the F&I War up until the Wild West.
I enjoy making dioramas of battle scenes and have several thousand 28 mm AWI painted and based into various units. I'm pretty well know for my terrain work in the wargamers world and have written several articles
on my techniques.
Hope you enjoy this. I have dozens more if anyone is interested.
