Oh dear oh dear oh dear.
First it’s Richie Dulin with the confounded French Navy, and now His Majesty’s
forces must deal with out own unhappy colonists! I say, it’s getting to be a
dangerous time to be a pro-Britain LEGO colony -- it really is!
I very much appreciate the... hmm... irregular look of your American regulars
-- they convey a certain sense of organized rabble which I think is often
forgotten by the movies! That’s not by way of criticism, I should say -- I like
the edginess of that ill-shaven guy with the blue rag-hat and the pistol...
well, as much as I can like any enemies of the crown :-D!
I’ll look forward to seeing more. Oh, by the way, have you considered a variety
of uniform facings -- I think the officer’s coat might serve you hero rather
well... let me find the link here...

And if you’re doing a lot of stick-on uniforms, you might want to get into even
more custom attire -- special uniforms by regiment and so on...
Anyway, I very much look forward to new pics. Of course, Brickley’s Cove will
have to strengthen it’s infantry presence with this new threat. Since we’re in
1806(ish) we’ll only be repsonding 30 years too late -- not too bad, I
suppose... ;-)
