"The Militia, which existed in New France since 1669, was comprised of Canadian men aged between 16 and 60 years old and were recruited from the countryside. They were poorly trained and therefore not very efficient when fighting pitched battles in open terrain – instead they relied on their knowledge of the woods to perform ambushes. They had no military uniform of their own so, during each campaign, they were only given some of their equipment. They were expected to arm themselves and to have a good supply of lead shot, powder, and fuses.

The Montreal Militia were mainly composed of travelers and fur traders. Their efficiency in ambush tactics earned them the nickname of "Wolves" by other districts. In 1759, 5,455 militiamen were mobilized to fight alongside the French during the siege of Quebec."

This figure can be represented as either a member of any Canadian or French militia in New France during the French Indian War, or as a fur trapper or trader (think of that iconic Hudson Bay Company coat!) We have included two different heads, both depicting classic Canadian headgear - the fur pelt hat, or the toque.

We hope you like it as much as we do, and make sure to secure your pre-order here - Wolf of the Woods Pre-Order

Thank you!

I like the pose and very unusual figure Congrats

As an old French and Indian War reenactor, my opinion is that you have captured your subject to perfection. A Hudson Bay blanket coat would be stunning.

I like most figures of this time period but I wish it was 1/32 or 1/30 but 75mm seems the flavor of the day anymore which I can understand that painters like the larger figures.Either way a very nice figure.

The bearded version looks great!

Jason

Cheers

As I said on FB, my stash will be getting a new recruit

Thanks for the kind words everyone, we're just as excited for our copies!! He's definitely got that "something really bad is about to go down..." feeling about him....

Wahou ! Great job ! I like the pose and very unusual figure

Love the turning motion of this pose,
I can almost hear him thinking "what's that".

Paul.

Fine sculpting! The snowshoes, cap on the first head and leggings are really neat. I agree with Paul that the turning motion was a great choice for pose. Could you post a color reference illustration?

All the best,
Dan

I ordered mine today.

There are a ton of options for how you paint him - here are some colour plates -

Some of those photos are great, and would be a good use for the second head!

Available at "the Bent Bristle" Marco. Great company, prices in Canadian dollars with very fast shipping. I believe Alex included a link in his first post, and last time I checked they were available and in stock.

Yes Alex contacted me and it should be on it's way.
