I received the first 16 AWI dragoons yesterday, hot off the spin casting machines at Griffin Moulds. I will be processing Kickstarter rewards first, but after that the figures will be available for purchase by anyone. There are 8 American 1st Continental dragoons and 8 British 16th Light Dragoons.

If you were not a KS backer, you can place a "pre-order" now and I can probably ship your order in about 2-3 weeks (to allow enough time to send out the KS rewards first). No money is needed now, just an indication of your interest in particular figures is all that I need so that I can order more stock.

All figures are $5.00 USD including rider and horse. Shipping charges are at a flat rate of $5.00 USD in the USA and $10.00 USD for the rest of the world. In most cases, the flat rate international shipping equates to a savings of 15% to 20% on your order.

To order, send me an e-mail with your order for individual figures at:

British 16th Dragoons:

Stock codes for the 16th Light Dragoons are as follows:

BC-010 16th Light Dragoon Officer
BC-011 16th LD Trumpeter
BC-012 16th LD Trooper, shouldered sword, uniform coat
BC-013 16th LD Trooper, shouldered sword, hunting shirt
BC-014 16th LD Trooper, rested carbine on right thigh
BC-015 16th LD Trooper, firing pistol
BC-016 16th LD Trooper, firing carbine
BC-017 16th LD Trooper, loading carbine

If you want to create a regiment in a formal pose with shouldered swords, then use the BC-010 officer, BC-011 trumpeter, and BC-013 trooper in coat to form the core of your regiment. You can also add a figure or two of the BC-014 trooper wearing a hunting shirt. On campaign, there should be some variation in the uniform. The BC-014 trooper with rested musket would also work with the fellows with the shouldered swords.

If you want to add some skirmishers, then the BC-010 officer pointing would look like he is directing a piquet line of the BC-015 firing pistol, BC-016 firing carbine, BC-017 reloading, with a couple of BC-014 rested carbine poses forming your reserve behind the skirmish line.

1st CONTINENTAL LIGHT DRAGOONS:

Here we have 8 figures covering the 1st Continental Light Dragoons (would also work as Philadelphia Light Horse):

Stock codes for the 1st Continental Light Dragoons are as follows:

AC-010 1st Continental Dragoon officer
AC-011 Trumpeter
AC-012 Standard Bearer
AC-013 Trooper with shouldered sword

(the above 4 poses can be used to create a "formal" posed regiment)

AC-014 1st Continental Dragoon trooper with rested carbine
AC-015 Trooper firing pistol
AC-016 Trooper firing carbine
AC-017 Trooper reloading carbine

(the above 4 poses can add a skirmish line to your cavalry regiment)


I will work on getting some samples of all 16 figures painted so that I can post them on TMP and on my blog over the coming week.

Great job, Jim.

DAF, will you be attending Cold Wars or not? Just wanted to know if I had options of either ordering from you or picking them up at the con.

ACWBill01 Feb 2014 3:21 p.m. PST

Gorgeous figs Jim! Can't wait to get mine.

Lovely looking cavalry, very nice :)

I have some of his figures – very nice. Since It's a period I don't normally do, I paint them and give them to some friends that are interested in the period. They love them

DAF,

I don't think the 16th ever wore hunting shirts (although the troop(s) of the 17th attached to Tarleton wore smocks in the Southern campaigns). However, the figure is not useless, as it can be used for one or two Continental units, such as Lee's.

Variety is the spice of life.
