Very nice paint job James. However, are you sure the shako cords should be green as well as the plumes? I can't find that in any of my sources, pretty sure they should be white. Haythorthwaite's "Uniforms of Waterloo" shows a 27th Foot Light Coy Sgt with white cords and a 2nd Foot Guards Light coy sgt with gold cords. Pericoli's "Armies at Waterloo" has a 3rd Guards Lt Coy officer with gold cords and a Lt Coy guardsman with white. Sorry
OK fair enough , i stand corrected. Maybe it's the flash in the photo but the ensemble comes across a bit garish. ,However, our project is very lucky to have your energy and enthusiasm applied to it, thank you CG http://notjustoldschool.blogspot.co.uk/

ReplyDeleteChris, don't be sorry.
DeleteI used this as my reference, which shows Green Cords and Green Plumes. C'est la vie as they say!
