The Red Coats Are Coming!..

























You can't beat a good bit of red coat reference. These guys were at Living history day last year.

It was nice to see some Light infantry from the American wars with the large wide brimmed hats.


















British light infantry.

Where is the original Redcoats?



The New Model Army, even the Coldstream Guards were in fact NMA.

The Indians are good...! The red coats look like they just steped out of Marks and Spencer though... :o))

Excellent pictures - I was in St Louis about 12 years ago for a rather small renactment compared to this splendid show. yes the painted Iroquis warriors were excellent as well. Gives you a real sense of painting figures for real!
