Jacobite Rebellion (1 Viewer)

A favorite of mine as well. John has communicated to several collectors that more are on the way including mounted Dragoons and another British regiment.

I hope the new other British regiment is going to be the 37th Regiment of Foot (Munro's/Dejean's) - the regiment next to Barrel's, which had the next highest casualties!

Nice uniform as well - the (red) coat had yellow lapels/cuffs/turnbacks with white lacing and the breeches were red (actually ecxept for the pockets, which were vertical with white fishbone laces, almost the same uniform as the 28th Foot that John has made for Siege of Quebec) !

I have been able to complete the Jacobite line, the one's released to this point, anyway. I just got in 7 sets that I had been missing for months. Once again I just have to gush about how good these figures are. My particular favorites of this batch are the JR23, the Lowland Scots attacking with their muskets. Superb clothing detail and painting, as always. They don't wear the kilt and thus aren't as colorful as their kilted breathren, but they just look fantastic. I also really like JR19, Highlanders attacking with their muskets #2, in particular the figure who is discarding his empty musket and drawing his broadsword, ("Broadsword calling Danny Boy, Broadsword calling Danny Boy".:wink2: Sorry, couldn't resist:redface2 as he charges. It is a classic figure. He represents many of the Scots who having fired their musket, tossed them away rather than reload, so as to close and fight with the cold steel of the sword. The Jacobite series is simply the best figure series on the market and I am hugely glad to have purchased them. -- Al

Al...

love the reference...

"Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide."

that would be a great name for a set...

I too think the Lowlanders are special...

I collect this colorful series and own all the figures...they have a spot in my cabinet...

I had heard rumors of mounted Dragoons...but I had not heard that another regiment might be forthcoming...

it is a great series and I hope John continues it in the future...

You have a wonderful display of the figures, Michael. Mine are just on a bookshelf, no scenery or such. It is a fantastic series. I believe, as I have said before, that it is the best series of figures that JJD does and is, IMO, the best series of figures available on the TS market today. Nothing made by anyone else approaches the dynamic action, color and detail of these figures. I hope JJD keeps them coming. -- Al
