Hi Raglan, My first time to see your link. I am impressed with all the excellent work on your blog. Your work is not only beautiful but also prolific. Great job! VS |

Very very nice! I've got a small plastic mountain of victrix napoleonics awaiting a paint brush, I started my hobby life on Airfix napoleonics and I've never really managed to get them out of my system! Trouble is I struggle to get started with them, besides I look at every one else's and think they all look better than mine! Youve done them proud, lovely paint job! |

bracken With the big wargaming periods such as the Napoleonic Wars, you need to train yourself to paint in big batches. I never paint standard units in less than 72 figures per batch (sometimes 100 figs per batch), it can be a little boring, but you do churn out a lot of painted miniatures. Raglan |

Excellent work. Who are the flags by? |

All of the flags on the blog are by "flagdude". Raglan |

Cheers raglan i'll give it ago, if I can crack off a couple of sessions in those kind of numbers the mountain might become a small plastic hill! |

One of the reasons I always loved this regiment was for the red uniforms on its drummers and musicians(?) |

Beautiful looking unit there Lord. As for the reference to the red coated musicians – it depends when and where. The Regts of France particularly later on in the Napoleonic Wars did not always have the luxury of keeping up with the regulations nor traditions of the Regt. So, Lord Raglan's 30th could be in fact an accurate representation for a particular point in time (post 1812 Russian Retreat). From what I have read there wasn't any red coated musicians at Waterloo or during the campaigns of 1813 / 14. I suspect that after the Russian retreat French tended to cloth as best they could in as a simple fashion as possible (excluding the Guard of course). But Widowson if you have references re: Waterloo let me know I would be very interested, as nothing looks better than red coated (same for Green) musicians in a see of French Blue…. |

Very nice Raglan like the idea of the production line works well for you. |

Cheers guys, Marcus Maximus – I posted a reply on the blog. Widowson – this is the uniform plate for 30th Line infantry, as you can see the drummer is dressed in green: link Website: link Raglan |
