Sherburne's of 1777 wear an interesting brown tunic with yellow facings with many figures in green small clothes as per deserter descriptions.
I added a mounted commander and a chap panicking (3rd from left) finding his spontoon wielding Sergeant ready to provide 'encouragement'.
The figure is a Peter Pig Militiaman in bandana but I added a tricorne cut from a spare figure and stuck it on the back of his head at a jaunty angle as if he'd lost it in his rush to escape.As a finish I chose a nice bright yellow flag to complement the unit's facings. A very unique looking regiment of Continental Line and fun.

7th Pennsylvania is one of those units which seems at various times to have worn brown with red, or blue with red facings.
I decided to mix the two as a unit in transition with a variety of headware and the ubiquitous hunting shirt ever present.The nice red flag was carried by Capt. Robert Wilson's Company, 7th PA Line, at the Battle of Brandywine, September 11, 1777 and subsequently captured.

The 12th Massachusetts Regiment, also known as 18th Continental Regiment and Phinney's Regiment, was raised on April 23, 1775 under Colonel Edmund Phinney outside of Boston, Massachusetts.The regiment saw action at the Battle of Bunker Hill, Battle of Valcour Island, Battle of Saratoga and the Battle of Monmouth.

The regiment is recorded as wearing undyed woolen tunics with buff facings.I used Vallejo German Camo Beige as a base for their tunics with Citadel Sceaming Skull for the facings.
Very bland looking, but blandness has a quality of its own and this distinctively bland looking regiment is very unique in my army.To make the blandness more apparent and I gave the regiment a particularly bright looking contrasting blue flag.Being a Massachusetts regiment I added a few black troops for more variety.
