Another AWI Addition

This is a Perry plastic regiment, representing the 1st Maryland Regiment, as described below by Wikipedia:

The 1st Maryland Regiment (Smallwood's Regiment) originated with the authorization of a Maryland Battalion of the Maryland State Troops on 14 January 1776. It was organized in the spring at Baltimore, Maryland (three companies) and Annapolis, Maryland (six companies) under the command of Colonel William Smallwood consisting of eight companies and one light infantry company from the northern and western counties of the colony of Maryland.

There is a LOT more info on this regiment than most of my previous efforts - they seem to have been involved in many of the well-known engagements and served right through the war:

Engagements

Brooklyn, Harlem Heights. White Plains, Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth

Camden, Cowpens, Guilford Court House, Siege of Yorktown

Here they are - a nice uniform of blue coats, faced yellow - they look a bit like Prussians or Hessians!

I found the flag on the internet somewhere......

I gave the drummer a distinctive cap as I have seen examples of similar in some uniform plates.

I received a small resupply - 1 more box of these nice Perry figures plus an extra command strip - so, with what is still remaining from the previous order, I think I have enough to do 5 more units, including one all in hunting shirts! I may get one of these completed in the next 10 days or so, then I will be out of circulation for three weeks while hosting my mate Gav who I have known for over 50 years (he moved to our town and came to my primary school at around the age of 9 or 10!) and his wife Linda, who we met in high school and where they became a couple around the age of 16!

Thanks for dropping in and double thanks for any comments you leave!
