The 69th Foot

Despite some further interruption to the painting schedule, I have managed to work on a couple of units this week.

Only one has made it through the uniform store and out of the basing department. That is the 69th Regiment of foot.


I have done this unit a little differently to the other three British units, in that they are all in the present, or at ready, pose, and I have given them a variety of trouser colours.



The second unit, a Napoleonic Spanish one, is uniformed by not yet based.  I hope to finish it over the weekend.

  1. Excellent job, Mark! I like the mix of trousers. The white really pops on these lads.

  2. Very nice unit Mark - and you can tick off "Green Facings" from your "to do" list!

    1. That was my thought too...since the intention was to build an army around Moore's army, its a pity the 69th (and no other green faced units for that matter) served with that force.

  3. Superb, great painting and I do like the subtile differences between the poses, so realistic...

    3. Yes the British set differs considerably from the other Perry plastic sets in that they are all in firing line poses with no march attack figures.

  5. Very nice, and I like the variety of trouser colours. The grey, white and Bowen always mix well together in a British battalion.
