Whoa there, Hoss!

Or...oh look...a bunny!

Ok...two things

1) I discovered that my assumption about leaving the Denison smocks on my Brit Airlanding guys to last is a BAD idea. Let me say that again... BAD idea. So lets forget I ever said that. Also, I am waiting on some mini's to arrive to complete the company, sooooo...

2) Back in November of '08 I purchased some 15mm AWI (American War of Independence) mini's. I bought some British Legion (Tarleton) Light Dragoons and Infantry and some Colonial 3rd Light Dragoons. I am going to play a game of PAL (Patriots and Loyalists) and was reminded of them. I have decided to take a break from WWII and take a trip in Mr. Peabody's wayback machine some 230 years in the past.

I did one of my painting guides on these guys, but basically:

3rd Continental Light Dragoons; Col. George Baylor's Dragoons; 3rd Legionary Corps, 1781

  • Coat - white, white buttons
  • Facings - med. blue
  • Waistcoat - white
  • Breaches - buff
  • Headgear - black cap, med. blue turban,white feather
British Legion; Tarleton's Legion; Green Dragoons.

  • Coat - green, brass buttons
  • Facings - black buffs 7 collar, trimed with white lace.
  • Breaches - buff
  • Headgear - Black Tarleton helmet, green turban, and green plume on the left side.

These guys are very colorful and I think they will be a blast to paint!

Tim, they call him...
