Continental Infantry Regiment




A brown-coated Continental Infantry Regiment. American uniforms are so confusing that instead of trying to paint a specific regiment's uniform I've decided I will instead paint "representative" uniforms. American infantry, to the extent they had regimental coats, seemed to be most commonly clothed in brown or blue, with facings of various colors.
The figures are by Old Glory. They're nicely animated, but not as detailed as Foundry/Perry or Front Rank. They also seem to all have the same face (and not a handsome one at that!). I don't know what it is exactly, but I find them more difficult to paint and I'm not as satisfied with the results that I get from the other manufacturers.
