2018 Figure Recap

In 2018, I painted 26 figures to add to my growing collections.  Each group of related figures is highlighted below.

Three American militiamen by Accurate.  The mounted militiaman is a conversion of an Accurate body with Marx legs and rifle.  The horse is from Classic Toy Soldiers.

The militiaman in red cap has been featured on this blog at

Three Continental soldiers from ATS.  The two in blue coats will join the 2nd Pennsylvania, while the third joins the light infantry (featured in http://redcoatsandruffles.blogspot.com/2018/11/continental-light-infantry-in-hunting.html)







These three soldiers are British Infantry at Culloden, produced by Replicants.  While they suffered from much flash, the figures themselves were splendid and a joy to paint.


Moving on to the British, the 43rd Regiment of Foot has begun its mustering.  In a pinch, these figures can double as British marines.

(Why did I paint three soldiers of every unit last year?  It certainly was not intentional)

At last, a unit with four figures!  These men are from the Hesse-Cassell Regiment von Bose.  They were previously featured on this blog at http://redcoatsandruffles.blogspot.com/2018/04/hessian-regiment-von-bose.html.

Yet another unit with three recruits!

These soldiers are from the French Regiment Gatenais, and sport distinctive purple lapels and cuff piping.

The 18th Century is not complete without civilians.  Six new figures (including two reinforcements for the petticoat brigade) have moved into town.   Five are based on movie characters from Liberty's Kids and Beauty and the Beast.

Four of them have been featured on Redcoats and Ruffles at:
