The Fifty Seconds

As promised, I present the 52nd, led here by Sir John Colborne, later to become the 1st Baron Seaton. He's Seaton on his horse now.









A couple of vintage Hinton Hunts, I'm pained to admit, were harmed in the making of this regiment. One of these was a BN 20: British Rifles Bugler, to whom I added some shoulder wings to turn him into a light infantryman





The second was Sir John Colborne's horse, which started out as an FNH 10: French General's horse, converted into a British Infantry Officer's horse.


And to finish up, here's what they look like with my other two Anglo-Hanoverian regiments. Some British artillery to go with them is looking a bit overdue.


The figures used for the 52nd were:

Hinton Hunt:
BN 93: British Light Infantry charging x 20
BN 90: British Light Infantry Officer charging x 1
BN 20: British Rifles Bugler, converted into a British Light Infantry Bugler, x1
FNH 10: French general officer's horse, converted into a British infantry officer's horse

Der Kriegspielers Napoleonique:
#154: British Light Infantry Command Group regimental colour bearers x 2, with a few modifications

Alberken:
BN 35: British light infantry officer, converted into a British Light Infantry colonel x 1

For those who haven't spotted it yet, Colborne is my new avatar. He was a Wellington Man, after all.

Happy New Year everyone!
