Following the two defeats for the British, the French sponsored Indians sweep into land that has become settled by families seeking a new life.

You have done a great job with that fire Steve. I think these settlers are going to be over run. Robin.

Yep, looks like it's down to Mum and the two daughters !

Thanks Robin, it's some cushion stuffing I sprayed painted with black acrylic paint and backlighted with a few electric Tea lights.

Very effective. Like me you are not afraid to mix brands. I have these gun wielding females from John also, which I plan to use a Wild West display. Robin.

Thanks Robin.
The costume the girls are wearing fits in well with quite a wide time period. I know I'll be using them in Napoleonic displays.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next !

Another good one ,Steve.I agree that the"girls with guns"could get a run in many time periods.Where does the woman in the purple dress come from?And what is she holding in her hands?

Hi Tony
Thank you.
She's Mrs Bennet from the Britains Jane Austen range and so being of the right time period for Napoleonic and since older women generally tend to wear older styles fits in very well with Georgian era clothing well.
She's been retired a while now the figure (and I'd guess being 200 years old plus the character as well ! ) you can usually pick them up for around about £10 new.

A very useful figure as are others from the same range, though not for such a wide time period.
I've used her several times in my Napoleonic displays, both as French and British and would fit I would say without too much trouble anywhere from Restoration period of Charles II/ Queen Anne, up to Victorian.

Oh and on close inspection she doesn't appear to be holding anything. So she can be doing anything !
