Suitable figure for Connor from Assassin's Creed III??

[CyberAlien312]

Hi,
I'm looking for a figure that's suitable for Connor from ACIII.
He looks like this:


I don't mind converting, so if someone knows an American War of Independence redcoat or something that stands in a pose that looks a bit like this one and has a uniform like Connor, I'm more than happy.
Thanks!

Whoever designed that oddity spent virtually no time at all in studying the style or cut of 18thC uniforms!!!!!

Oh trust me I have ranted about the absurdity of the whole thing a few times Mr. Joroas

Funny that on the average AWI aficionados are as... hysterically historical as 'Napoleonics'; while 'Lace Wars' players are generally far more tolerant to 'departures from strict historicity'. Wonder if it's somehow correlated with the different types of warfare: civilians in uniform maddened by ideological / nationalist passion rather than cold professionals waging a 'war without hatred'?

As for the original query, search F&IW (and possibly AWI?) ranges for a 'White', preferably French (no rank sash) officer in 'field' dress with Indian leggins; unfortunately such minis as a rule represent Compagnies Franches de la Marine without lapels. F&iW "provincials" may have lapels, on the other hand, and some are depicted with leggings rather than 'European' gaiters


Try to post your question on the LAF "Pikes, Muskets and Flouncy Shirts" board where the F&Iw is dealt with (under another title not be culprit of 'cross posting'), or perhaps even better on the '18th C. Imagi-Nations' board of The Miniature Page : you are far more likely not to be  derided, and to get a positive reply, there.

Interested and interesting developments in another LAF board.

Is cross-posting allowed?

We have been well behaved.
Most folks have ignored the thread and gone about their business, as opposed to leaving nasty comments.

Is cross-posting allowed?

I only posted this again in Pikes, Muskets & Flouncy Shirts because I didn't get many useful replies here. I hope that's allowed (?).

No.

Check Rackham's old Confrontation range, maybe they have something for you in their Griffin or Lion armies.

"Nasty comments"? WHY?
Adults playing with toy soldiers would be supposed to be a rather tolerant bunch

Another sacrilegious departure from historical accuracy:

When did we agree to that? 

As to why? The first responses should be a dead giveaway.
It seems the game chose a setting and then throw everything evocative of that setting out the window.
