Frying Pan and Blanket Amalgamated Catalog

 I am still busy cleaning my basement. In my "wargame room" I am boxing up most of my toy soldiers and other hobby supplies, with the idea of going through them later to decide what stays and what goes. 

While sorting through a tote, I found another FP&BA painting guide for The Battle of New Orleans, along with an old catalog of their figures, which I thought might interest people.

The King's Soldiers of Fort George

 While I haven't  done much with wargaming, I still do look at other blogs and look for figures  to buy. I did find some more Frying Pan and Blanket Amalgamated War of 1812 figures. I believe  that they were sold in the Fort George gift shop.  I have gotten several sets that contain 12 figures that were sold at museum gift shops ( FP&BA sold their infantry sets with 24 figures). I have thought of trying to contact the gift shop to see if they still had more of these sets.

The 12 figures that came in the set. 1 officer, 1 color bearer, and 10 privates.

A little information page comes the set, with painting instructions
