paints brigs for the British fleet.
We are pleased to announce that the plastic American War of Independence British infantry are now ready for pre-order. This is quite exciting for us, as it's our first plastic step into the 18th Century.
They will be available around mid-late March.
If you buy three boxes direct from us (or from our stand at Salute), you will receive a free metal mounted colonel!
There are more pictures of the figures on our site, in the plastic lists.
Many, many thanks to Brendan Morrissey for all his help on this project, especially the painting guide. Brendan is also working on another article for our site, going into more detail on British regiments during the war. This will come along later.
American War of Independence British Infantry 1775-1783
This box contains center company men (or hat men) of a typical British regiment for the war. (The regiment's flank companies were normally detached for combined light and grenadier battalions.) They are represented in cut-down coats for campaign, and come with three hat variants: the typical cocked hat, the un-cocked hat or board-brimmed hat, and the 'Saratoga cap', cut down from the cocked hat. They can be assembled either at the charge or at the trail (probably the most common drill position when operating in wooded countryside). They also wear the typical gaiter-trousers or American trousers, which became very popular in the war. The officers are in simple undress coats, favored on campaign. The officers come with quite a few arm options, which allow you to field the unit with or without standards.
Box contains: 36 figures plus two casualties, unit bases, full painting guide, and flags.
