Colonel Barnards Flank Battalion

Colonel Barnards flank battalion at Barrosa is all finished. The astute amongst you will notice that the Portuguese are missing. They are boxed up elsewhere for now (Christmas drinks in Cadiz?!). They will reappear in the new year!

Highlighting and shading wash done on the battalion. All that is left to do now is the straps and pipeclay in white (black for the rifles) and maybe some different coloured hair..

The light is getting poor now so I'll finish them off tomorrow.

As you can see, the bulk of the uniform colour is added. Will be adding a shade of "skeleton bone" for the drummers coat and the redcoats white facings, plus silver for gun barrels and blades, before giving them all a once over with some army painter "strong tone". Next stage will be to highlight the existing colours.

I've finally made a start on Colonel Bernards Flank battalion for the Barrosa project,  this will be mainly made up of "spares" from my boxes of Perry infantry

 

 

The battalion consisted of

- 4 Companies of 95th Rifles
- 2 Companies 47th Regiment of Foot
- 2 Companies 20th Portuguese Infantry Regt

 

To utilise what I've got,  there'll be a bit of artistic licence, and there'll be two stands (8 figures) from each Battalion

 

The Portuguese are already painted (part of an existing battalion) and so are not pictured here.
