Some more Napoleonic Portuguese finished.
« on: March 19, 2020, 11:45:01 AM »
After sitting around for nearly a year assembled and with some base colours applied it was time for the 1st Battalion 16th line Regiment "Vieira Teles" to get finished. This Regiment from the Central Military Division of Portugal formed part of Pack's Independent Portuguese Brigade along with the 1st Line Regiment and 4th Caçador Battalion, who I have already completed. This brigade was one of two Portuguese brigades that were not permanently attached to a British Division.

As part of the Central Division the 16th's piping lace colour was white, as was their Regimental Colour, carried by the 2nd Battalion. Their collars and cuffs were scarlet.

Very cleanly painted.

Very well done.

Always thought it was odd that Victrix made not one, but TWO boxes of Highlanders (of which there were never more than four battalions in the Peninsula, only three of which served together) in plastic, yet only made their Portuguese (40+ battalions, plus Cacadores) in metal - now sold to Brigade Games, I think.

Yes the Victrix metals are now available  from Brigade Games, didn't know that until after I got the Warlord plastics.
