His all,

This is the first set of three that will compose a 9 figure vignette, depicting the British disastrous defeat occurred near the Monongahela river during Braddock’s expedition to seize Fort Duquesne from the French in 1755.

The figures have been modelled by the great Antonio Zapatero.
The three sets have been designed to use independently or to combine as you wish.
Figure size is 32mm from sole to Crown.

Thanks a lot for your support.

Nice vignette. I would like to note one specific detail that appears to be left out of the subject. General Braddock had detailed orders concerning the dress and conduct of his troops while on campaign. Because of the hot weather woolen small clothes ( breeches and waist coats ) were replaced with ones made from "oznaberg" or coarse linen. They would have been natural in color. That is unless Braddock ordered them dyed red, information of which is not known to exist as far I'm aware.

 

[oniria]

Thanks for the comments guys.
Garyd: Thanks for the information Garyd. I didn't know that. I'll keep it in mind for futre figures.

The Osprey Men at Arms title Wolfe's Army talks about this in the plate text.

Yeah I have this book but haven't looked through it in years and forgot about the change.

[oniria]

Thanks guys. I also have the Osprey book so it has also slipped my mind. Anyway, no problem in changing the colour of the breeches and waist coats.
Tommy: The other two sets will be released during 2014. Of course Braddock and Washington will be included.
