I continued my tradition of including an erroneous figure in the unit, this time it is a Light Infantry officer in stovepipe. I’m short of British line officers and as I don’t have a unit of light infantry in the painting queue, I thought I’d use him here.
The figures are (left to right) BN/90 Light Infantry Officer (charging), BN/2 Sergeant (charging), BN/8 Officer (standing). Hopefully I’ll get the unit finished in the next week or two.

I wouldn't worry about the office in stovepipe if Sharp can get away with full 95th rig in the South Essex. With two officers, two ensigns a sergeant and a drummer this is very well officered regiment it should fight really well...
...but why have they come into Hertfordshire to protect us from the French or to subdue discontented populace?
Sorry Rob, that's classified!
Very nice indeed...
I particularly like the standing officer...
All the best. Aly
Beautiful work, Ian!
Thanks Aly, I agree that officer is a very nice casting!
Thanks WM, nearly there now!
Hi IAN- Splendid painting there - you'd nearly be finished the Regiment- well done! Cheers. KEV.
Nearly Kev just need to get geared up for the final push!
Splendid! I seem to recall that light company officers often took liberties with uniform details making the lt inf shako quite reasonable (though I might have expected a green hackle)
Nearly there Ian. More great painting, I like the light company officer, he fits in very well.
Very nice painting and you are making good progress. I like the LI Officer but the sword he has is like a pirate’s cutlass or a Turkish scimitar.
Hmm, a pirate cutlass, this will add more to his backstory!
Well, they did serve in Dominica and as marines so it is possible that he acquired one.
You are making far better progress than I am on the 1st KGL. I am still on the second batch of 9 rank and file. I then have the 5 command figures to do. I am also using a BN8 Officer standing, a fifer and a drummer together with 2 standard bearers.
Don't worry Mark it's not all over until the fat lady sings! Or until the unit is based...
