Hello Carl, Beautiful work as always. You are an incredibly gifted individual. Really like this one. Congrats, and Regards, SG:happy:
 
Is there any word when the Royal American will be released, and is there any idea of the price, (ballpark figure would do).
Hope Frank will have a load of these ready for Euro as I am sure it will be a winner!

Hi Don,

I think it will be launched at Euro mate! I'm not sure of price, but I guess around the £35- £40 I guess!

Thanks mate, I am sure this one will be very popular. Hopefully see you at Euro, if you can manage to take time from your busy life of sculpting.

Carl is this depicting the 60th (Royal American) Regt that fought at Bushy Run (see below) and eventually became the Kings Royal Rifle Corps? I see he is equipped with a period musket as my understanding they were not issued rifles until the Peninsular campaign so maybe the title needs a little tweak. Great sculpt and will definitely be on the shopping list.

You are quite right Jimmy!

The piece probably fits into the 7 years war more than the AWI!

It was one of the those regiments that changed its profile and indeed name several times over the years.
The only constent was the 60th element as I understand it. First I believe it start out as the 60th (Royal American) regiment of foot, then it became The Kings Royal Rifle Corp, Then it changed to the The Duke of Yorks own rifle corp and light infantry, and back to the Kings royal rifle corp. The later taking place in the 1830's!

As I believe it it was a set up with the misfits and rejects from the British army, with a recruitment drive in Germany, and governed by a couple of Swiss officers.
So its varied and eclectic history makes it a difficult regiment to pin down with any degree of certainty. But this also the thing that makes it so interesting.

Anyway mate I'm glad you like him!

Carl
