I've happily finished another unit for my Crown forces for Sharpe's Pratice rules. This is the 63rd Foot. I regret not having gone with the cockade hats. These Perry metal figures are nice, but I'm having a doubt about all this feather stuff. I know the soldiers when on campaign and especially in the hotter regions in the south would take the pins out of the cocked hats so to protect themselves from the sun and elements.
Also painting the lapels and turnbacks would provide more color, which I like. Well que sera sera as the saying goes. I will trudge on to the next unit in the que.
Oh and my flag order got lost in the mail and had to be resent, so still no flags for any of these boys.
As always thanks for looking.
Cheers

Finally some red coats!!! WooHoo!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great period to paint and game!! You are really pumping these guys out quickly. Will you have to do all sides or is there someone else painting troops?
Howdy Skip, thanks, and nope, Mark is painting the Continental forces.
