Crazyredcoat's Crazy Compendium of Collected Creativity
Into the valley of confusion rode the man with no horse.
When last we saw our hero, he was but a trousered man with a vaguely blue jacket, now he is completed. The previous research all sort of adds up to this chap, so I won’t go too deep into it here. The important thing I will add to anyone wanting to paint their own Napoleonic units (of any kind) is to be wary of regimental intricacies. To take the British Hussars, for example, they all have white cording…except the KGL who have yellow…but then again except the 3rd KGL who are back to white. It rapidly becomes a rabbit hole, but there are always sources to help. I would always recommend the Osprey books on various units, nations, campaigns, ect. They are a great resource and have some damn good artwork. Besides, who doesn’t love books?
Hopefully tomorrow I can have the horse all based up and our friend here glued in place, so expect one last outing of this chap when he’s finally reunited with his horse.
