Need for AwI and maybe Caribean extension 18-fr revolution Sharp,Practice scenarios, slaves for my plantations. Unarmed. Maybe some if ever do 1790s.. Any idea?
Some P Pig mix I found, Irregular a few can do.
The thing they need be in a mix of European dress but with the distinct Afro faces and hair no? |

I repainted a few of Minifigs' pirate figures to provide laborers for an AWI artillery battery-- in this scale it's really not necessary to look for any distinctive racial features. Everything looked OK when finished. |

Grumpys Miniatures had some 15mms Cimaroons with muskets that might work. |

Essex miniatures 15mm Zulus are very useful. Negro features with great detail and posing, wearing only a loin cloth. Shields mostly separate. With a little miliput the loincloth can be turned into breaches, shorts or even just a small cloth wrapping as can be seen on slaves in contemporary West Indies illustrations. As the 18thCentury advanced, slaves are sometimes depicted with slightly more clothing. |

Missed this one. The armed ones can be converted and others kept for future Caribbean stories.
Thanks. When I get the various things done, I will put a page for it on my site. |
