Title: British Redcoats-Peninsular War
Post by: Malone on September 20, 2013, 06:42:24

Hi friends.... :love:
My dream is make a entire Rgt. of Line Infantry....10 Company, 8 centre, 1 grenadiers and 1 ligth....about 600/700 soldiers....but at playmo-scale normally everybody use 25 soldiers for each Company.....1 Rgt. = 250 soldiers aprox.

For the moment I finish only 3 centre Co. and 1 Grenadiers.....also I have 1 Co. of Ligth Inf. (71º Higlanders) and 1 alied Co. of Brunswick Line Inf., and of course some Artillery men and Cavalry but this is another history  ::)

Well, with my 4 Co. of Line Inf. I can make a "square formation"....typical to figth against the Cavalry....and I´d like to show  ;D

Thanks for the comments.... :love:
Well....I begin to make my first Higlanders Company (Gordon Higlanders) I hope soon I can show.....and I take a few time to paint some guns in grey for my british.
I choose to paint the Tamiya XF-55....is a ligth grey with a soft touch of brown.... ::)  .......I like and is more or less correct. ;D
My Artillery Battery have 4 guns for foot Artillery and 2 guns for Royal Horse Artillery (more short barrel)
20 Gunners, 8 TRAIN crew, 2 musicians, 2 Sargents, 1 Officer....to begin is OK ... ::)
Upsss!!!!.....And the Artillery mascot...."Fireball"....little but terrible....

beautiful pieces of art, Malone! the lone canon's photography with the 2 men and the dog is like those painted diorama master pieces we see only in scale modelling magazines (minus the weathering and props)

1-Isn't the Scot beside the Brunswick a musician? I thought those shoulderpads were for musicians only?
2-fireball is a French Bulldog. I'm afraid this race didn't exist by then…

Otherwise: Wow!

;)

Hi friends....!!!
Thanks for your comments...

I´m not a expert on dogs... ???....yes, is a french bulldog and maybe is a early prototype.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

About the shoulderpads....yes, this is typical on musicians but also for Grenadiers and Ligth Company ( elite troops ).....the Centre Co. dont use this distinction
The musicians have another special uniform details....is typical of  this time on all the Armies.

Yes, I know the bugler used to wear reversed colours.
The French bulldog goes back to 1850 only. Let's say yours is an ancester.
