Colonial Militia for the F&IW

I realise I've  probably said this somewhere before but when I attended the recent Partizan show I went unencumbered by The List. So it was on nothing more than a whim that I bought some F&IW figure blisters from North Star. To be strictly accurate these comprised the pack of Colonial Militia, the pack of British regulars in campaign kit and the single British officer. In my mind they were going to make a Colonial Militia unit and now they are finished you can see whether you agree with me or not ~

I hoped that the mixed mostly muted colours would do the trick and create in the viewer's mind the illusion of a Militia unit with very mixed kit at their disposal. I think myself it's been successful but I'm sure there may be those who disagree. Let's hope they are amongst the invisible throng who never comment! I'd like to add a similar unit of French Canadian Militia to the roster at some point, those by Galloping Major look suitable. Sadly though the war chest is bare for now, depleted by the acquisition of the basic requirements for my Crimean War project as detailed in the previous blog entry!
