I have been Tangoed. These pictures are from a series of posts concerning my assembly of the Virginia militia and Virginia continentals for my Guilford Courthouse game scheduled for Salute in April this year (stand GA15). See the blog for the full, and ongoing, story. paintingshed.blogspot.com Hope to get a few more hunting-shirt figures done today to add to the Va continentals. |

Using kilted Highlanders is a mortal sin. You're going to hell. |

I love the appearance of the soldiers Steve, but what is your source for the GCH Virginia uniform? I can't seem to find much. |

Great painting. Nice looking unit. |

What f@@kin kilted highlanders? Unless you mean the 6mm napoleonic ones! There's not much on Va uniforms but blue coats faced red seem as appropriate as anything else and will keep them usable as a number of possible generic continental regiments. As noted on the blog half of each unit will be in hunting shirts, shirtsleeves and/or civilian dress, so the uniform won't come across so strongly. I do note that in Babbitt's book he mentions that the Va continentals were issued new uniforms prior to joining Greene's army but but these were of poor quality and started to fall apart (I'm paraphrasing here). Flags will be generic. I have the next 12 figures ready to finish tonight, with five more from the bits box ready to undercoat along with a dozen new figures which I hope have arrived in the post today. The balance will then be made up from some old minuteman figures from the Foundry range that are currently resting after being removed from their bases at the start of this project. |

Gnu, I shall make a point of coming over and saying hello at Salute – I really am looking forward to seeing this project. |

Looking forward to it SuperMax :-) Steve |

I know what you mean about lack of uniform information for the late war Virginia continentals. I was hoping you had stumbled on something. |
