First up is Bailey's regiment as the red facings with brown coats especially appealed to me. I mixed in a few different coloured coats and trousers to give them a slightly less uniform appearance:
The bulk of this unit are Perry plastics which are quite easy to put together, although three boxes' worth have taken me the best part of six to seven hours:
The nice thing about plastics though is being able to vary the poses and swap things like backpacks around:
The flags are from GMB and are a rather simple design:
The second unit, also from Massachusetts, is Marshall's regiment in the more iconic blue coat with red facings:
With a slightly more decorated but still unelaborate flag from GMB:
I also completed two accompanying casualty markers:
That is the first two Continental regiments completed, with just another seventeen or so to go:
There does however seem to be a lot of variety in uniform colours and style which I am hoping will be more than enough to keep interest levels up over the coming months.
