Captain William Dansey

[Bassman]

This a small conversion of the Best Soldiers British Officer kit representing Captain William Dansey.

He is holding the flag of the Delaware Militia captured at the battle of Brandywine in 1777.

I changed the left arm and sword positions, the coat lapel lace and buttons.
Had to re-sculpt the folds in his left arm.

This figure will be displayed at the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia.

It is part of a display featuring flags of the revolution along with several figures representing the units involved.

The figures are donated from artists who are part of the Artist Preservation Group and will be auctioned at the end of display’s run.
