Late Peninsular with Belgic shakos, old bean?

Lol. I cant talk, my peninsular French are using a mix of late and early kit.

You carry on James!

Yep, I've some need to get clever. We once spent 12 months campaigning in the Peninsula, with Airfix Napoleonics!

Well spotted Harry! Actually these are not in truth part of the Peninsular project per se, I bought them long ago but needed something to get my confidence up in painting that I would not feel "precious" over.

You can still slot Nev and his mates in though, some of Wellington's lads received the Belgic shako, before war's end.

Yes the grey trousers were also pretty universal by back end of 1812. I am not going to be too stringent about uniform, although I can get sometimes get anally fixated on other things that others don't care about!

Don't mention the wheels on any vehicle.

Thanks Rui, I was going to PM you at some point, I haven't forgotten all our chats about Cazadores! I might be doing those fairly soon...

Always remember, a painted figure is a Thousand Times Better than an unpainted figure. And - as I'm repeating ad nauseum of late - once the game is on, its what the unit can do that matters far more than the paint job.

The size of those units would drive me bonkers! Rather like my FIW has been driving me bonkers for ages (42 or so figures plus four matching casualties). There will come an end. And then the flood gates of other periods will open. (I keep telling myself that!)

The paintwork looks great James!

It’s Just a shame they are going to end up trampled under the hooves of my Dragoons however!
