Started on some Victrix British Light Infantry yesterday, while awaiting the arrival of Perry Dutch Lancers and Scots Greys. The stovepipe shakos had the brass plates scalpel’d off to allow the diced band to represent the 71st Highland LI. The others are in „Belgic“ shako with green cords and plume. They’ll both be in 6-man units to represent small units of skirmishers.

I checked the mailbox in the afternoon, and wouldn’t you know it, there was the Perry package.

As usual the figures were in small boxes with synthetic wadding which tends to stick all over the figures.

Note the Colonel Colbert figure in the center – he’s a one-piece casting which the Perrys make sometimes (e.g. the Choson Korean cavalry). I normally paint horse and rider separately, so I’ll have to think about this one.

Anyway, thanks for dropping by and just wanted to show what’s in the paint queue. Napoleonics are much like the Mafia – „Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!“
