Haitian Revolution - Slaves and Townsfolk

 


I wanted a few civilians for my Haitian Revolution project and they come from allsorts of companies!!
Figures 1, 2 & 5 in the pic are from Perry miniatures AWI Civilian pack.
The others I'm not sure of?


These figures came to me as part of a collection from the late Eric Knowles, via my chum & blogger Dave Crook. All bar figure 5 who's a Perry Miniature, come from Front Rank from various ranges. 
Yeh I know by this time the late 1790's the tricorn was out of fashion, but this is the colonies so they'd be lagging behind what's going on back in France at the time. 
So Tricorn's it is.
And I had then to paint up..........


The last figure is again from Perry minis, not sure about the other kids?


And lastly we have a few more Ladies and Gentlemen.
These were originally lined up to add to my 1690's Donnybrook collection, but at a pinch these will be transported through time 100 years to also appear in 1790's Saint Domingue!!
All figures are once again from Eric via Dave Crook and Front Rank!!!

  4. Very nice indeed Ray - you can never have too many "civvies" in my opinion - and for this period, they may actually be able to play an active role in your games!

  12. Very nice. Many years ago I think you acc8dently painted some foundry escaped slave as white guys. I assume you've repurposed and repainted these
