Slowly getting my large AWI project photographed and shared. I actually did this one out of order, since I painted it the most recently.
I like the idea of a Continental regiment wearing captured British uniforms. Found out that Webb's regiment may have done just that, taking uniforms from the prisoners of the British 20th Regiment of Foot.
I had a bunch of left over Perry Continental infantry bits, generic enough to use as British. I also painted one stand in other color coats to represent maybe the unit not having quite enough British uniforms to clothe everyone, or uniforms wearing out.
For the flag I ended up having to resort to downloading a clip art image of it and then resizing it and cutting it out. I tried to buy the flag but found it only available from the Flag Dude and he only sells flags in person at events now.
I paint my historicals mostly with Citadel Contrasts and more recently with the addition of Army Painter Speed Paints as well as Vallejo Xpress Colors. It is a fantastic way to paint large armies effectively and relatively quickly. You won't win any painting contests with transparencies/inks, but for the tabletop the overall effect is aesthetically very effective.
Overall I think the regiment came out pretty well.
