The more I read the more I am convinced that when it comes to uniforms the only thing to be definite about is that you can't be definite. It comes down to the fact that it is 'your' army. Looking forward to the next batch - but I must finish painting this ACW regiment first.<br />Best wishes<br />JimJim Walkleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-71572034500888324332011-06-13T07:04:26.821+00:002011-06-13T07:04:26.821+00:00Nice idea to document the units, gives a nice feel...Nice idea to document the units, gives a nice feel to the army. I'd consider doing the same, but I think the task has become to big, maybe as I tidy up individual units.Fire at Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816572506887450180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-17386055869306151482011-06-13T00:04:21.740+00:002011-06-13T00:04:21.740+00:00I'm with Ray on the Cie Franches, the Philadel...I'm with Ray on the Cie Franches, the Philadelpia guys in the jocky caps are F&IW British Light Infantry ( Gage's or 80th reg't. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80th_Regiment_of_Light-Armed_Foot<br /><br />The sailors remind of the marblehead fellows but I suspect a pirate background! <br /><br />I used to like to mix my poses but I am now finding an attraction to at least the occasional 1 pose unit.

The New York regt look to be painted as the figure number said, I'd say they were the Companies Franches de la Marine, painted up for the French Indian War, or John may have just bought them as the uniform fits in with any regt just in their waistcoats.Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-90963670689751791342011-06-12T17:47:52.624+00:002011-06-12T17:47:52.624+00:00i liked that a lot.

For the AWI there is just so much out there you can't get much wrong.marinergrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393687295535460527noreply@blogger.com
