Napoleonic Unifrom help (1 Viewer)

[Partner]

I have two Napoleonic figures I want to paint but do not have any painting instructions for the figures .
Any help on Regiments, uniforms and painting instructions would be appreciated

I am not a Naps guy so at a loss .

The Highland Drum Major has a very distinctive sporran with 8 tassels .

Thanks
Kirk

What with Birthday and other recent celebrations going on for you John, I thought you may have missed Kirk's post. Whenever I get a bit stuck for any detail for a Toy Soldier, I invariably begin by having a quick peek at your "upnaway" site - as you've nearly always been there before!

Hope you had a good one! jb:salute::

Finally here is my painted Drum Major that was referenced in post # 3




The kilt has a few coats of paint until I was relatively happy with the tartan.

Thanks to JB and Obee for their info

Best regards
