In the Southern campaigns of the American Revolution, mounted militia was an asset to the Americans. Unfortunately, figures to cover these men are few and far between.
After a significant amount of conversion work, I finally have my first mounted militiaman. He used parts from three different figures. His body and head were from an Accurate militiaman, but the standing legs were removed and replaced with mounted legs from a Marx Paul Revere. The long rifle was trimmed from a stack of such weapons and added with a little sculpting of his right hand.
His horse is an excellently sculpted one from Classic Toy Soldiers.
The checked shirt was fun to paint and helps him stand out on the tabletop.
Ready to patrol the woods for signs of British or Loyalist troops!
