Hmm not quite what I was expecting for militia :?
They are quite a uniformed lot, not like those rag tag Texians I am used to and most individual with the C18th leggings etc.
Not sure I will be able to deliver those...Sorry :(
On a positive note, I like the fisherwoman :)

Oh well, I had to try!  lol

They are quite singular bunch. I assume the leggings are to do with the endless tramping about the Florida swamps.

But yes, the fisherwoman could be a catch...  ;)

I will have some New Orleans Greys and US deserters in due course who should be suitable, but might not be ready in time for october...

I love the fisher-woman too. But she seems to have something going on with the chap in the Russian hat. Just my luck.

I would buy one or two like her those from Malamute's enterprise if he did them.

Fisherwoman...............must have! Not sure i like those militia uniforms though the officer one in the Regulars type shako is rather smart, would'nt mind a unit of those although Nicks New Orleans Greys and army deserters will probably be more accurate for in the field for the later parts of this long drawn out episode.

I second that.
Perhaps the fisher woman could be sculpted as Elena de la Vega instead  ;)

Very nice.  I'm in Semionole War territory. (a few skirmishes where my house is now)

Nasty terrain.  (Hog hunting in the dense scrub is hard enough, and they don't shoot back)  Thgey have a very nice 25mm diorama of the major battle in our town at the city istorical museum.

 

(Of course the Seminoles were finally defeated for good last Labor Day, when a Hurricane rolled through them  ;)  )

Is there any chance you could post some pics of that? Sounds great.

Aha, but everytime someone visits the Hard Rock Cafe, the Seminoles chalk up another victory... Selling the White Man's culture right back to them!

I just popped into this thread and I was amazed by the Seminoles, bravo Oxiana!

It would have been a nice addition to your range!
On a positive note, I like the fisherwoman :)

Me too! Also  a nice addition !
But, I am still waiting for the other ones already promised!

Three more Seminoles:





The guy on the left is a Black Seminole - escaped/freed slaves who were 'adopted' by the Seminoles.
