And finally for tonight, a few pictures of my British troops for the American War of Independence, or Revolutionary War, depending on your preference. These are mostly Front Rank and were painted about 20 years ago I guess, when you could still buy half a dozen of these figures at a time for $1.30 each at Military Miniatures in Marua Road, Ellerslie......ah, those were the days!
