The Britannian Ranger leader is one of a batch of tricorne wearing figures I bought via eBay. He is a French officer from Front Rank's American Revolution line (French AWF-17). But painted with a green coat, buckskin pants, and deer hide mitasses, he has become the leader on my combined Ranger-Light Infantry-Allied Indian "battalion" for His Britannian Majesty's forces in the 'Murica colonies. Re-purposing with a vengeance!
Another "find" in the 18th Century troops boxes was this Old Glory Indian. He had been purchased as part of a batch of painted figures, so he needed just some touch-ups and selected repainting to become the war chief of the Gallian allied Huron Indian war band.
They will both see action in June at our regional gaming convention - Bayou Wars. My game will be on Saturday morning (see the PEL for details).
Nice. I especially like the ranger leader, but I have a fondness for green uniforms (pre-20th century ones, that is).
