Beautiful.
I think some shots of the 35th Foot vs. the 12th Bavarians are now required  :D

Superb.  Those shots of the Bavarians in the Village are very good.
Photos of my recent efforts are at www.littleleadmen.com and https://beaverlickfalls.blogspot.com

Thanks all  :D

I do have two Billy cabinets but the above minis are not in one. It’s actually a display case from Lidl UK, which are about ½ the size of a Billy. None of my cabinets are lit; I simply used reflected natural light for the photo and adjusted the exposure/brightness.

Somewhere near the Sussex coast, as it advances inland the 12th passes through a sleepy ‘chocolate box’ village, with flag flying, with drum beating, and with marching songs sung with gusto.

Particularly interesting when you consider that the current Grand Duke of Bavaria is the successor to the Stuart line.....

Jolly German Jacobites? That’s all the world needs. Tartan shortbread tins filled with pretzels. Should be a big seller at Aldi.

Seeing the excellent work you did with the 35th Sussex persuaded me to get my own box of Perry's British (though I'll probably have them fight commune-controlled Frenchies; its only proper.)

Looking forward to seeing the yeomanry!

Hmmm, interesting thought. I might include some fifth columnists loyal to the true king :D

That’s another interesting angle 8)

I have also pondered adding French to my project - it might happen  :D

Would be an easy and interesting diversion. And help lead to a FPW game as well.
I wonder if they would be interested in invading the Channel Islands...  ;D
