Daniel, I appreciated your post. If you ever get to Savannah, GA. There is a statue in one of the parks of the Volunteers of Santa Domingo. Very inspiring statue. I like the picture you posted of the group. Love the uniform!

The Opsrey book you shared is one of my favorites. Mine is a little worn, LOL.

Thanks for sharing your interest. It is always great to find others who have similar interests in history and the hobby. I will keep an eye out for more of your work.

All the Best, Terry Martin-Member of the Atlanta Military Figure Society of Atlanta, GA

I've completed this figure sometime last year, an officer of Fort Royal (Martinique), i love this uniform, so simple , very muted , but yet elegant.
I think they did combined some civilian clothing as well.

Hello and tha ks for your comment.
The figures are from Modeles et Alllures from France, originally the figured ar ein the 1765 uniform, i have modified them yo resemble the 1779 uniform.

Thanks Tery,
The infamous order of uniforms of 1776 was hated by the French trooos and high command, the coats wore shortened, facing colors , cuffs and collar had numerous variations in color, some are really nice, like Saintonge , white uniform with Aurore lapels, cuffs and sky blue collar, some were terrible :-( , they have even introduced a 4 cornered hat, many Frenchies thought they looked more like prussians than French.
The new Reg. Of 1779 gave a relief to these complaints and they went back to " a la Francesse" style.
The siege of Savannah has these trooos in the 1776 reg, a very interesting and frudtrated assault on the Brits.
They even brought the Colonial teooos from now, modern day Haiti and Martinique.
