Hi

That is the right blog sorry about that.

Any views on colours of shako covers for the Brits?

Cheers

Phil

Gents Have been making progress with my first batch of Brits and looking for advice on colours of shako covers for troops in campaign dress. Know can do them black but what over colours would be realistic? Will upload some photos soon but you can see progress on my blog www.itkeepsmeoutofmywifesway....

Thanks for that Bill, much appreciated.

Cheers

Bill

Thanks for that just what I was after and like your painted units. What paint did you use for the drummers yellowish jacket?

Cheers

Phil

Hi Gents

Have the first batch of Brit inf on the go which includes a standard bearer. Have been looking in my reference books and come to the conclusion they should be in Brit red like the rest of the centre companies, is this correct.

Cheers

Dave

Hi

Just organising my first Brit Bn of infantry and was going to work on 30 figure units but noticed that as am slowly building units for Waterloo that most units have 28 figs. Know it is personal choice but do most people use 28 or 30 fig bn's for the Brits.

Cheers

Ginger

Thanks for your response and your advice. Will give the green stuff a go.

Am putting together my first mounted 28mm figure but caanot quite get the saddle to sit squarely on the horse. Have been thinking about using green stuff/miliput to fill the small gap. Is this the correct approach , any advice gratefully received.

Cheers

Phil

Rob

Not a problem at all and thanks for the feedback. I couldn't decide how to paint it and just went with the metallic approach.

Thanks again.

Phil

Cheers Rob, would the flask have been leather as books I have are not overly helpful.
