French Indian Wars - Compagnie de la Marine uniforms

[Poiter50]

If uniform is what it could be called from what I have seen on product illustrations. I'm looking for good painting references for these guys, preferably Osprey as I have access to a number of these through various club members or online. Hope someone can help?

Did you try a search on Google images?

That's great, thanks. Some of these images are confirming that there is more use of blue than I expected (also confirms the colours used by an Ebay seller) and there are some links to some good gaming sites.

I usually look at Galloping Major first:

but his painting guides don't include Compagnie de la Marine yet.

Excellent, I am really pleased with the resources that this question revealed. Thanks to all the contributors.

I'm not sure it covers the exact unit you are looking for...but when I'm in doubt about F&I stuff I go to the source...Fort Ticonderoga.  check out their web site here: http://www.fortticonderoga.org/

Their research into, and recreation of, F&I and Rev War (AWI) units is impeccable IMO....plus it about 25 miles from my house...

Cheers,
