Remember these guys?

Perhaps I should jog your memory?

Now you've finished cringing at the appalling quality of those pictures, here's a nice shot which should soothe your burning eyeballs:

That's right, I've finished painting my 28mm British battalion for the Hundred Day's War. They just require basing and flags to complete. They'll form the 28th (North Gloucestershire) foot, which apparently still had stovepipe shakos in the Hundred Days. I'll have to replace the heads as well, but that shouldn't take long. As a plus, that means I'll be able to use them for Peninsular games, perhaps as the 37th (North Hampshire) Foot, my 'home' regiment.

The light company is mounted on seperate bases so I can place them in skirmish order along with my riflemen, who have had an unfortunate varnishing accident.

The command stand. The officer is actually in Peninsular uniform, but the flag bearing ensigns are wearing the Waterloo uniform. My reasoning was that as many officers were called up quickly, some of them wouldn't have had a chance to buy a new uniform.

Here's my OOB, taken from Dave Brown's General De Brigade website/blog:

I'm building Kempt's brigade first, along with the artillery. Later on I'll do Pack's brigade, and then Vincke's hanoverians. This has been, and will continue to be extremely slow project, so don't expect anything more than Kempt's brigade to be finished by 2011.
