Omar Bradley in 18th century Boston
Last week I took my family on a short recon to Boston/Cambridge (we live in Texas) and we had much fun, beautiful place....
Reading about the opening skirmishes of the AWI, I came across this in wiki and finally knew what I could do with the Hasbro Omar Bradley I've had for years.
from wiki:
"After Percy had left the city, Gage directed two ammunition wagons guarded by one officer and thirteen men to follow. This convoy was intercepted by a small party of older, former militiamen, still on the "alarm list" who could not join their militia companies because they were well over 60. These men rose up in ambush and demanded the surrender of the wagons, but the regulars ignored them and drove their horses on. The old men opened fire, shot the lead horses, killed two sergeants, and wounded the officer. The survivors ran, and six of them threw their weapons into a pond before they surrendered."
That's quite a story!
I'll attempt a grouping with more old-dudes to depict this event, this guy is the first.

Re: Omar Bradley in 18th century Boston
Very nice! He is suitably portly; not an easy feat in 1:6.
