Thought those looking for colour images of different uniforms for any War of 1812 bicentennial projects out there might like the following link: link GH |

Looking at his site, it doesn't appear he's done a book specifically for War of 1812. I'd likely be interested in that. Best, Dean |

I'd be even more interested if it contained a lot of prints about state militas and Canadian militias. I'm painting Runchey's Coloured Corps for Queenston Heights this week, and I could use some help with that. I think I'm going to wind up painting then in their later Artificier uniform. Thanks for sharing UpperCanada Eric |

For Runchey's, I'd paint them in civilian clothes for that early in the war. In 1813 I think there's a good chance they wore the green militia uniform for the invasion. There's a plate in Chartrand's new A Scarlet coat on page 139 (the text and plates are mixed up in the book – the text for this image is actually on page 125.) The Gareth Ditrick plate has him in civilian double breasted jacket and round hat, and kitted with a stand of arms (musket, cartridge box and bayonet belts). GH |

Oh  . I've already started them in blue jackets and grey trousers like the Artificiers. I suppose I could just repaint them in green. Does their green uniform have red cuffs and collars? I might have some American militia from Old Glory that could stand-by, in a pinch. They're mostly in earth tones, no grey coats. I'd love to get Chartrand's books, but they are a pretty penny. Thanks again.

I think Runchey's in short blue jackets, grey trousers and round hats is fine for the early war, only later would they they have dressed in green. |

I'm already well behind the curve, thanks to work, of getting my figures done for Cold Wars. I'm not exactly a Thread and Button Counter, but I would like to get it reasonably close. Well, well. I suppose I'll just have to take the hit and keep them in blue jackets. I still need to finish my all of my 41st Foot and my 49th's flank companies. Thanks, all.
