Here's another Militia unit, this time with their coats in shades of grey with medium blue facings.
The population of the New York Colony in 1780 is estimated at about 163,000, compared to 235,000 for Massachusetts and 184,000 for Connecticut. The colony with the largest population by far was Virginia, at roughly 447,00 people, although roughly 280,000 of those were slaves, compared to relatively small numbers in the other three states in question.
The bulk of the population of New York was found in the city and along the Hudson River.
New York militia units featured prominently in the Saratoga campaign of 1777 and others
These are Brigade Games figures once again, sculpted by Paul Hicks.
The flag bears the arms of New York, and is once again by Adolfo Ramos.
Another cracking addition to your project, lovely figures and painted very nicely.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Donnie!
DeleteA very smart unit and the mid-blue facings look great against the greys.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lawrence.
DeleteLove these fellows - terrific painting and set up.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them, Tony. I'm definitely enjoying the project and these Brigade Games figures!
DeleteGreat addition to your growing array of Rebels Peter - I must get back to mine, one day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith. I've been on a rebel kick recently, and will resume painting British after the I finish the group that I am working on now.
DeleteVery nice looking unit. The collection is growing quickly.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Richard. My aim is to paint at least 48 infantry or the equivalent per month. So far, I have been managing that.
DeleteVery nice I prefer these slender types figures to the chunkier types
ReplyDeleteI agree, more like real people, especially for that time period!
DeleteGreat unit!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Glenn!
DeleteAnother lovely looking militia unit!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain. One more militia unit top go, then we'll start of some Continentals.
DeleteAnother great unit there and the Militia always have a certain attraction with their simple 'uniforms'.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Steve!
