Well, it will be worth the wait to see them I'm sure. They are looking great so far. I have only managed to prep one firing line so far myself. I have to do my second box before I actually start painting. Ahh the demands of work. Keep treating us to photos of your recent commissions Cubster and I'll be happy!!

The 16thLD wore them till February 1815.

It is certainly my hat of choice..!

Yes, from the Albuera bicentenial this year.

I think there was about 120 cavalry on the field all told. This is the British cavalry brigade with allied cavalry behind us out of site.

Very nice, but the Heavies in Helmets, not Bicornes? I prefer the older style.

Cute Brigade :lol:

I think the CO know every man by his name.
