These were very nearly going to be the 8th King's (with whom I have a special connection), which would have given them blue facings and colours, but I'm glad I went for the 73rd. Red and green seems to have been de rigueur for pretty much all of Wallmoden's army, which I'm hoping will make for a very pleasing final effect.Wellington Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295966991101976478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242408484763644333.post-44390418480626854062018-10-28T06:59:30.977+13:002018-10-28T06:59:30.977+13:00The Chasseurs are indeed lurking, Rob, just off sh...The Chasseurs are indeed lurking, Rob, just off shot. I'm still working on them, by the way, at the same time as I'm doing these chaps. Both regiments are therefore going even more slowly than usual.<br /><br />The line up above is probably what you'll see in the final - so there are elements of the front rank of three different companies on view at the moment. I'm not sure if this is how they'd have gone into action, but it looks dramatic!Wellington Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295966991101976478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242408484763644333.post-80240247232203623462018-10-28T04:35:34.357+13:002018-10-28T04:35:34.357+13:00Well done, Master of Colors!Well done, Master of Colors!Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913029478686087197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242408484763644333.post-45734917950123165722018-10-28T02:45:55.281+13:002018-10-28T02:45:55.281+13:00Your colour party and standards are beautiful!

They'd better get cracking because they don't have enough to form square which is a bit risky with the CàC-dl-GI lurking behind the the next paint pot. <br />How do you intend to base the command figures now they won't all fit on a single base? I was thinking - officer and drummer on one base in the front rank with the colours behind them on another base. What do you intend?Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242408484763644333.post-80096884622426156022018-10-28T00:33:38.807+13:002018-10-28T00:33:38.807+13:00Those are really lovely... the whole unit will loo...Those are really lovely... the whole unit will look splendid.<br /><br />All the best.
