Hello TMP users. I thought you might enjoy these pictures which I finished playing around with this morning. The Brigade was painted for a large battle that was put on at our club earlier this year but as I'm unlikely to use them much more they have made their way over to Ebay. Note: I love the 'Betsey Ross' flag – as do my clubmates – so we were happy to include it with Regiments in our wargame. ;) Enjoy!

Very nice. Are they all plastics? |

Who was the manufacturer? |

Nice, very nice! Could you let us know the identities of the specific regiments, from top to bottom? They all look good, but I especially like the look of two of your miniature regiments. Jeff |

Thank you for the kind comments! They are all Perry Miniatures, with the first four Regiments being all plastic, the hunting shirts a mix of metal and plastic, and the horse all metal. As for Regiments, most wargamers know that a lot of information on uniforms and flags has been lost to history or is very hard to find. I took the route of painting the Regiments I had information for as true to the reality at Brandywine as I could, while taking some liberties [no pun intended!] with the others. For example the 5th, 15th and 1st were not in Scott's Brigade, so I borrowed the uniform colours to represent several Independent Regiments. From top to bottom… 4th Virginian Regiment
8th Virginian Regiment
5th Connecticut Regiment
15th Massachusetts Regiment
1st Pennsylvanian Regiment
1st Continental Light Dragoons |

Thanks, Rabbitohs! I had no intention of giving you any grief concerning historical accuracy. I would eventually like to paint the 8th Virginia and the 1st Pennsylvania in 15mm scale myself. |
