Fusilier Paul Crouch shows us some of his magnificent collection of figures representing the English Civil War, French and Indian War, American War of Independence and the American Civil War.

 

New 30 January 2005 - Paul has recently been rebasing his American Civil War figures, which are mainly made up of Redoubt and Dixon miniatures. With his artillery in particular, he has gone for two-gun bases so as to give them a "meatier" visual effect.

The photos in the first group below depict Fusilier Paul Crouch's latest English Civil War troops. The two top pictures show King Charles and his standard (the latter a lovely offering from GMB Design). These figures were painted for Paul by Rex Hurley.

The other photos in this group show a particularly impressive two-gun battery that Paul has recently finished painting. These are mainly Redoubt figures, posed on a Hovels gun platform. The overall effect is a magnificaent mini-diorama. Study the photos to see some of the many details that Paul has incorporated into this vignette.

NEW! 1 January 2004 - The next six photographs in this gallery depict Paul Crouch's Blue Regiment and Red Regiment London Trained Bands. The Blue Regiment figures are by Front Rank and Essex, whilst the Red Regiment figures are Redoubt, although if you look closely there are also two Renegade figures. The flags are all by GMB.

The Red Regiment fought at the first battle of Newbury in 1643 during the English Civil War. They were attacked a number of the times by Prince Rupert's cavalry and stood their ground taking heavy losses, thus making their mark on history.
