Very nice work on those runaways and Cherokees.
I have some of the same Foundry figs painted up for a fictional turn-of-the-century African scenario and was also thinking of using them as escaped slaves-Maroons (should really add some vegetation to the bases I suppose). Also just ordered some B&P figs to possibly convert to escapees-Maroons, along with some others to be worked-up as Cuban smugglers.
