I do love the orange pompoms. Never understood why folks tend to favor the light blue. Do them all I say - you have 24 to add some color to the unit!<br /><br />As for the display, that is of course lovely, and only Rob would wonder if the highlanders were going kommando; of course they are - they're highlanders by golly!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663682631274573026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-60432259938514893742022-02-21T22:23:36.421+00:002022-02-21T22:23:36.421+00:00Thanks Matt.

I'm amazed that these old castings are still appearing on eBay, I dread to think how many of this code HH sold.<br /><br />https://napoleonictherapy.blogspot.com/2014/02/20mm-peninsular-dragoons-hinton-hunts.html<br /><br />Vallejo Flat Red is excellent and covers very well over black although I always start red with Cavalry Brown which is a perfect base shade.<br /><br />Look forward to seeing them finished.<br /><br />All the best,<br />Lee.

Never enough of that to go around, I must do another unit, and some guns, as my Spanish are starting to outnumber and outgun the French.<br />Nice to see your display shelves and the risqué shot of the Boer War Highlanders - despite the up-kilt angle, I just couldn't make out whether the 'devils in skirts' had gone Kommando!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09945117682726535259noreply@blogger.com
