I painted the supposedly black hat tape white to bring out more the features and decided for the famous grey uniforms (at White Plains the probably had a mix of blue or brown with green facings). I mixed Perry miniatures with Foundry's, bayonets and no bayonets minis to give them still a bit of a scrambled look. Flag is by GMB.
The 3rd did took part in Canada 1775 (probably in their greys), then the enlistments were ending. Second try (probably in brown/green) at February 1776 for the Continentals taking part at White Plains as part of McDougal‘s Brigade. Third time it was raised (maybe blue/green??) to go with Pete Gansevoort to Fort Stanwix were they stayed until November 1778. After that they took part in the rather punitive Sullivan Expedition…
Lovely!

Thanks Simmy! Its a nice colour combination, wonder why they didn‘t kept it ...
DeleteIt is true! I wonder too. Then they switched to blue, perhaps because it was more easily available...
DeleteStunning! Great looking unit!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment! Will try to keep up the good work!
