These are based on a couple of sources although I made them an entire "unit" (read battalion) when I think they are actually just a company - oh well, never mind! You get a few men in hunting shirts in each box of Perry American AWI infantry, and I combined them all to create a single unit
I gave the musician a different hat based on absolutely nothing at all!
Thanks for taking a look at my blog and hopefully you leave a comment to mark your visit!
Nice to see a unit in purple hunting shirts Keith, and the shade you have used looks perfect. I couldn't actually bring myself to do the purple, but looking at yours now I wish I had been a little braver.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence! I did wonder about the colour but in the end decided there must be some historical evidence and justification for it....and we all like to have " different " looking units!
DeleteGreat looking unit. I always liked the hunting shirt figure, can also easily be mixed in to any regiment
ReplyDeleteThanks Scotty - I expect that is what they are intended for - but as I had three or four boxes worth, I thought I would make a combined unit of them.
DeleteI must admit I do like the units in hunting shirts and bought far too many for my AWI forces amny moons ago! Great work on these Keith and some colour variety on the table is always welcome:).
ReplyDeleteThat is a very good colour martch to the original.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work sir!
