Lucky AWI British - Painted and Based

I have finished painting my two lucky products AWI British figures. I enjoyed painted this two figures up, and found that there was more detail on the figure after I undercoated them black. According to the comic book ad, the foot figure is an officer, and the mounted figure is a dragoon.

An officer and a dragoon...

More details on the Lucky Products AWI figures can be found here for those that are interested in my earlier post on the subject.

While I have painted both figures, I have opted for a generic paint scheme on both of them, mainly because at the time I thought that I wasn't going to be increasing my holdings of these figures. I have based the 'Dragoon' to match my mounted command stands, but I have left the officer unbased for now.

In the background is the Airfix British Grenadier Officer,  while the two Lucky British look at  American wounded.

 I used my fast paint method to paint them, undercoat black, flesh, white, then block in colours and give a brown wash. I am quite happy with the results. The original plastic was not the best colour for showing detail.

A step back.

 I am still trying to decide if I like the autumn flock, and how I can best use it. I suspect I might have to do up a bunch of figures to make up my mind - perhaps a unit of Native Americans might work well with this flock?

Of course I now need to figure out how best I am going to use this officer, and if I am going to give him his silver epaulet on his right shoulder that his officer status is meant to have. I am also thinking of giving him some paper in his raised  hand - perhaps a map?
