On July 5, 1814, Brig. General Winfield Scott led his men into battle at Chippewa, Ontario, Canada..
Dressed in Grey fatigue jackets and white trousers, "Scott's Brigade" gained a monumental victory for America during the "Battle of Chippewa", against a superior and more experienced British force, The Royal Scots. This marked the 1st victory for the U.S.
I still have some things to re-work on this figure, butr thought I'd show him off a little.

This figure represents what a Private in BrigGen. Scott's Brigade may have looked like.
This figure is outfitted in a grey fatigue jacket. At the time this soldier represents, due to a shortage of quality dyeable wool, BrigGen. Scott's soldier were sent the grey fatigue jacket, white trousers, black gaiters and leather shakos.
The leather shako for this figure is the 1st attempt that I made using the DID shako that came with the 95th Rifles figure. It's still a work in progress.
The grey fatigue jacket was a Sideshow Toys Civil war jacket that I reworked into an 1814 fatigue jacket. The white trousers, gaiters, and boots are from DID also.
The L'herbette pack is also a modified SST product. The canteen is from the SST Revolutionary war figure. Apparently it was used at one time in the Northwest during the war.
The musket is a modified SST Civil War musket that has a Tony Barton lock on it, thus changing it into a M1808 Contract Musket(at least that's my story, and I'm sticking to it).
Although at this time, the cross belts should have been white, there were reports of some U.S. soldiers still wearing the black cross belts.
