The first pic of North Caroliners looks like an oil painting! So well done!

Those are excellent Alan, terrific job.

MiniPigs, there were units that had trousers made out of bed ticking that was striped cloth, perhaps that is the reason for the stripes.  There seems to have been a fair amount of local adaptation to clothing conditions and the striped pants are one example of that.

Could be.

@Lysandros, which colonial units really stand out on the table top?

[Lysandros]

Very nice Alan  , the composition of the figures is excellent.

@Lysandros

Yes, thank you very much.

What's the story behind the stripey trousers under the hunting shirts?

It was quite common striped trousers . That unit is based on a osprey book of the combined Marylanders/Delaware battalion very  late war . Even some Hessian units had stripey trousers.
The British l don't think so.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have culled about 4 to 6 units because of disappointing sculpts.
I'm pretty happy with what is left and tend to change my opinion
regularly .

Like the marching pose, sergeant looking down the line, drummer carrying drum, very nice figures and lovely paint job.

Continental line 1781
( French supplied uniforms)
I did take a picture sometime ago but lt was during a game and in blurry light
 I think this does more justice.

Such a feast of eye candy, superb!!!

[DintheDin]

Amazingly beautiful! And what a detail!!!

Well, Lysandros, just as an act of kindness, mind you, I'll allow those units you find so offensive to be stored in my gaming area for as long as they are causing you mental anguish.  Sound like a deal, sir?

I know it's mad . I have scrapped 8 battalions . Out of those I've cherry picked and made 4 new battalions. Basically kept the better sculpts and repainted , rebased . 3 very happy the other ok.
The luxury l have is that l have more than enough units that l can't get them on the table all at once , even on 19ft by 7ft.
There were some good heads in those scrapped units and they have been recycled and upgraded any existing units if needed.
They have become the spare box.
Cheers
