The following is a list of the parts I've sculpted to date, then the code combination to create various soldiers from the French & Indian War. Because the uniform for some troops varied wildly some units can mix and match parts from other sets more readily so this is a conservative list. In fact several head types can be mixed into combinations not listed below such as making a British Redcoat who has lost his hat (BtH-hatless head)



Kit & accessories list
I-Musket, powder horn, belly box
II- Ammo bag, double frogged bayonet or hatchet
III- gathered kilt, broadsword, black feathers

Torso List
B -4 x British double breasted coat
Bg- 4 x same as above but with Grenadier Wings and matchlock
S- 3 x Single breasted no turnback cuff coat
F- 4 x French single breasted coat

s 3 x leg poses with short coat and thigh high gaiters

k the first packages are in the post 'cept for the people going to the MayDay con this Friday

My 'natives' with muskets set is almost done (whoops should be a 3rd torso in that pic )

Also I needed some markers for 'unconscious' for my game and it was suggested that wounded figs would also be good for diaramas- they have the optional head feature from my figs. The two here are the French coat and Grenadier ones but I have a British one and generic cut coat one on the workbench. I'll also be doing discarded kit, powder horns and bags but also a discarded coat or two.

Also wanted to post a pic of the first 3 box lids I sent. The Highlander on the left wasnt done- it has since had the red added to the stockings.

Armoury Toys & Hobbies will be offering liquid plastic casts of this line! Should have info on his page when he has some sets for sale around the 18th

One of my games is Banners & Battalions which is all about moving blocks and lines of troops- so of course I needed new artwork...
