Hope this is on the right board - 1854 is in the right date for Colonial, just not sure if Crimea should count as a colonial region!
I'd like to see what different LAF folks did with "Wullie", the free figure that came from Warlord Games with Black Powder. I'm only a middling level painter, so I'm sure that there are some much better samples out there than mine! Anyway, here is my take on him:
I almost painted him for service during the uprising in India, but decided that there was too much stuff to cut away and didn't trust myself to do it properly (shoulder pads, lace, etc).
Now it is up to you - show me YOUR Wullies!
