After 15 years in coatees and Havelocks, the Belmont Fusiliers are ready to take the field again in shell jackets and 'Porkpie' forage caps.

A few more units to touch up and rebase and I should be able to put a small game on the table before the weekend.
Ps: This regiment and the General can be seen as they were in 2008/9 on the near left side of the header picture at the top of the blog homepage. The rabj and file started life as Historifigs Scruby 40mm ACW figures. The officers were original sculpts.
The picture hasn’t worked Ross.

Ahh, thanks for letting me know. Just works for me then, I should never do late night posts.....
DeleteSHOULD be working for everyone now.......
DeleteIt is! Nice picture. The Officer figure is very good.
DeleteI have been pleased with him, a rather drastic conversion of a Zinnbrigade Waterloo British Dragoon officer.
DeleteYou should do a before and after picture.
ReplyDeleteThey look great in their new kit.
DeleteThanks. That would have been a good idea!
DeleteAt least they appear in their original conversion for Indian service on the blogheader, so I've now added a note.
I knew I'd seen that Officer before!! Like every time I look at your blog... 🤦♂️
DeleteNew kit....and new colours, if I'm not mistaken, too! Well turned out!
ReplyDeleteI'll pass that on to their Colonel.
DeleteThey've carried these colours since at least 2011 (based on photos) but they certainly didn't carry any in 2008.
A parade of redcoats- it brings a lump to the throat and a sniff of pride every time!
ReplyDeleteSplendid looking fellows!
A change is as good as a rest... well, if it's a good change... let's see how well they fight...
