Today's regiment is one of the first units that I painted in my Continental Army several years ago. The 1st Maryland was in Sullivan's Division at Brandywine. I wanted this regiment to have a larger number of militia figures in it to reflect new recruits and to add more variety to the firing poses. In fact, twelve of the figures in the 25 figure regiment are American militia figures.
The following Fife & Drum Miniatures were used in this regiment:
1 x A1 Militia officer with sword in hand
1 x A20 Continental officer, marching
1 x A21 Continental standard bearer, marching
1 x A22 Continental drummer, marching
1 x A23 Continental NCO, marching
1 x A24 Continental standing firing
3 x A25 Continental standing at the ready
3 x A26 Continental with ramrod2 x A27 Continental, cocking musket
1 x A3 Militia standing at the ready
5 x A4 Militia with tricorn, standing firing
1 x A5 Militia with brimmed hat, standing firing
4 x A6 Militia kneeling firing
25 total figures on 5 stands or 5 per stand.

ReplyDeleteMight as well face it you're addicted to lead.
DeleteGreat stuff. Hopefully a standing uniformed continental officer, musician, standard bearer and nco can be worked into the release schedule at some point!

Rob: that is my exact plan. There will be the same for the British eventually.
ReplyDeleteExcellent news, I've been hoping for a British firing line.
ReplyDeleteIs there any chance of a series of similar articles for the British? I'm finding this week that these articles are great for getting me inspired for painting again.
Sure, I was thinking of starting with the converged light battalions and grenadier battalions.
