Hi guys,
Hopefully someone can help me out here. I'm currently converting one of my plastic British Line infantry into a sapper. I am basing it off this nice figure here:
(http://www.bryertons.com/store/image/cache/data/TL/TL-54-NB4D%20Sapper-600x600.jpg)
My questions is: what is that black thing hanging on his left side? From a bit of research I think it may be a pouch to hold the axe, but I'm not entirely sure. Can anyone help me out?
A breakdown of all his gear would be rather grand e.g. what's going on with his hat. I can't seem to find it in the books I have available to me (or even the internet, it seems). I'm not completely hung up on details and quite happy with the conversion so far, but a few more ideas to finish him off would make me really happy!
Thanks!

It would have held a billhook - a curved bladed implement for clearing undergrowth

Mate, that is exactly what I needed to know. All of a sudden I've found heaps of useful reference pics etc. Thanks heaps!!

I thought I would be able to find loads of pictures but these are the best - different angles of Victrix's version (a bit down the page)

Edit - oops I was probably to late with that last post then :)

Well, that Victrix link was the icing on the cake actually! Thanks again.
Looks like I'll be making a couple more additions... :D
