AWI Boston Garrison.
1. 23rd foot, Royal Welch Fusiliers in bearskin. Grenadier figures don't work. The cap is too tall, and the birds nests on the shoulders are wrong for Fusiliers.
2. Boston Massacre. The 1770 British uniforms are halfway between FIW and 1768 Warrant.
(Not all figures are for Brandywine scenarios.) Throw in some period MDF buildings too, while we're at it. Washington Crossing the Delaware. The Leutze painting, with the full crew. Figures between AWI and War of 1812. Whiskey Rebellion, James Wilkinson, Arnold's fizzled "adventure". Comanche Chief Iron Jacket. I would be interested to see what a sculptor would make of him. I would buy ONE! 🙄 |

I'm a 28mm guy, but with a lot of 25mm in my collections. That's what I'm asking for.
But, if there are "missing" figures, or models in other ranges, feel free. Not meant as a Poll Suggestion popularity contest, but that might be interesting. Not meant for purely American armies either. Mine just happened to be listed. |

John Brown as depicted in the Kansas Capitol. The preacher telling them "Give them Watts, boys!" Women prisoners in long dresses STAMPEDING longhorns so I can make the herd from Ghostriders in the sky" -- STLS so I can have a BIG herd calves and colts, young herd beasts |

John, I converted some Old Glory grenadiers into fusiliers by filing down the bearskins and filing off the birds nests. It wasn't hard to do, but they met my needs well enough. |

They looked terrible. 🤷 |

@doc
A while back, I asked for the Wild Hunt.
Ghost Riders is the Wild Hunt out West. 😄 |

Given that it's the 250th anniversary of the Crossing of the Delaware, I'm surprised that no company is planning on making the Leutze figures . Calling Brigade Games! (LOL) |

You know, I'd have to pass. Time was. There are some historical 2mm AFVs I could use--6-wheel and 8-wheel armored cars top the list, but those are vehicles, not figures. And I'd love to expand my reserve of RISK figures to include Napoleonic heavy cavalry and SYW hussars, but it's not as though no one makes such figures in 10mm. I just want a big cheap reserve, just in case. The only actual figure I've been looking for lately without success is a 28mm Ferengi bartender. You'd think someone… |

Geb at GRINGO40s knows the song, and I have hopes. I want them as an stl, though, so I can have a significant (real) herd. But four different longhorns on a cloudy base would do for a "spell effect" of the Wild Hunt Out West. Hmmm, and I'm going to ask GROK . . . |

Use Rustoleum "Invisible gloss primer." 🙄
SPOILER ALERT. I made that up. |
