A month ago I picked up a few back issue magazines at the Panzer Depot, all of which included promotional plastic sprues of various historical miniatures. The September 2009 issue of Miniature Wargames included a single sample of Warlord Games‘ firelock musketeer. I promptly assembled and primed the model to have on hand when, on a whim, I felt the need for a break from more serious painting, and to use as a guinea pig for practicing some speed-painting techniques for producing rank-and-file troops purely for gaming purposes. And so, last night I whipped this guy together, and put on some final touches this evening.
