If you are a POA Collector - I have Great News For You !!

The POA Set : QM-08 - Wounded British Line Infantry - The 47th Reg. of Foot - is now one less ! There are only 749 Sets in the World - SET #232 ... IS NO MORE !

I have purchase one of these and plan to convert the 47th Soldiers into 44th Foot Soldiers to join my troops in the BM world

This means your POA set increased in value !

Yes - transformation happens today !

The PROCESS IS NOW COMPLETE !

The 47th is now the 44th !

Here are some pics of the procedure and result ! - You will see the before and after - the ink pen points out the cuff / collar white - that must be changed to a dark yellow. The JJD Cert. is pictured to show this set has become no more !

Here are the new 44th Foot TROOPS !

The Man in the Middle was from the BM-05 Set and used as a model for the others.

No - I did it myself !

I put that wonder Vallejo 72 Color Paint Set to good use !

Very well, Ron,
that is a great opportunity to enlarge the 44th contingent.
Will you be tackling the pants too and do them in the buff color?

Not sure what you mean ?

I already matched the paint and repainted the figures as shown below.

Ron,
when you look at your BM-05 marching trooper, under the red coat he is wearing a buff shirt and buff pants while the troopers of the 47th are wearing red shirts and red pants. I don't know how significant that is and if it is even necessary, just an observation.
Here is 44th Flagbearer compared to two of the 47th and it gives a good view of the difference.

Now - I got you

Yea, saw that too - but decided that I was doing good with the lapels and cuffs - why take a chance on the pants - since it is hard to see, I decided to let it go - at least for now. I guess I could come back later with a better paint brush set and more experience in painting under my belt.
