One of my slow-burn projects has been in
the Peninsular of the Napoleonic Wars around 1810. The last time I painted a
unit for this specific period was a blog post on 21st April 2009 so
slow-burn is quite an accurate description. The unit I posted then was the 45th
Foot and it has taken me eight years to flag the unit. I used Perry figures and
went for a campaign look. These are new pictures of that unit and I will also
be showing, in the next post, the new 32nd Foot using Victrix
figures.
On reflection I don’t think I like the
campaign look which is exemplified by the assorted colour of their trousers. I
am moving to a more pristine look; it may not be quite so accurate but it
reflects one of the reasons why people are attracted to the Napoleonic Wars –
the glorious uniforms. So my inclination is to go to a full (and cleaner)
dress.
