As for Peninsular British, I think going with the Light Div would be a great choice. They wore their stovepipe shakos afterwards and can be used in the Waterloo Campaign. Just paint their trousers in grey. Highlanders would be versatile too for both campaigns.DeanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724268555970663130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812504077956599309.post-81204379976209718652022-12-11T11:28:12.410+00:002022-12-11T11:28:12.410+00:00Lovely toys Matt…

One downside of the plastic (and the few 3D printed I have) figures is the ability to make bayonets, swords etc realistic dimensions.....which is all very well but not too practical for figures that will have a bit of handling in their lifetime!<br />As to advice on the Peninsular War...go for earlier uniforms....all stovepipe shakos for British infantry, bicorne for heavy cav and Tarletones for light Dragoons. You could choose a famous division, too, like Black Bob Craufords Light Division....or one that had some highlanders in it ( if you fancy painting government plaid tartan). Maybe down the track, add some Portuguese allies too....lots of scope for a variety of interesting uniforms!rrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07316317334203888350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812504077956599309.post-35289057837794309552022-12-09T20:45:54.282+00:002022-12-09T20:45:54.282+00:00Great work Matt.
