They look great! Now I just have to figure out which ones I want to start with.

I will be painting the Trumpeter and Trooper in Hunting Shirt next, after that, all 8 figures will have painted samples pictured on line. After that, I will start on the 1st Continental Dragoons. I plan to start shipping rewards to Kickstarter backers next week.

I apologize for the unfinished or card bases. I was in a hurry to get the pictures posted this morning at 1AM.

They look great Jim! Newbie question… Was there a standard saddle blanket color used by each of the regiments? I assume the continental units were not as uniform.
John the OFM	06 Feb 2014 8:57 a.m. PST
That's a good question.I would have assuemd that the "dress" saddle cloth would be in the facings color. I have seen a few plates showingthe 17th with a white saddle cloth. Of course, they all could have copied from the first one, which is often the case. If that is a true "rule", then shouldn't the 16th have a blue one?
Der Alte Fritz	06 Feb 2014 9:34 a.m. PST
Maybe it was due to the fact that the 16th was the Queen's Regiment rather than the King's Regiment, I don't really know for certain. Their trumpeters did wear Royal livery and troopers had the blue facings of a Royal regiment.

I think all regiments had white shabraques; see this portrait of Cornet Thomas Boothby Parkin of the 15th LD - link

That makes it easy.
