AWI: British Artillery in "Saratoga" uniforms

 

Here we have a pair of guns (a 6lber canon and a Howitzer), with the crew wearing "sdaratoga" uniforms. 

Guns and crew are by Perry.

After taking these shots I realized that I left off the yellow buttonhole lace on the lapels and cuffs; that has since been corrected!

The British were due for some additions after all the Indians and Colonials lately!

  2. Great looking artillery Peter - I have always like the Saratoga headgear - but I really don't need them AS WELL AS the regular AWI British, so I?!

    1. Well of course you do! :-)
      I like the Saratoga uniforms a lot as well.
      I have 2 more guns coming in a different uniform for the British.

  3. Great additions Peter. How many artillery pieces are you planning in total for each side?

    1. Thanks, Lawrence!
      The original plan was four 4 per side; the last order I increased that to an additional gun each, plus one each for the "Hessians" and the French.

  4. Very nice work indeed and the Saratoga uniform is a cracker, the Perry figures are really very good.

    1. Thank you, Donnie! I'm enjoying the Perry figures (if not their famous flash!).

    1. While infantry makes up the bulk of all forces in the AWI, I needed to start on the Artillery some, too!
