Hi all! Okay, I am looking the best Napoleonic British naval officer, in either 40mm or 25mm… someone who really looks swashbuckling! Anyone have a particular figure they are fond of? Thanks! |

I agree with Brigade Games – and here he is painted in my naval unit:

Depends what you mean by Officer – the chap on the left is wearing dress more commonly associated with a Chief Bosun – and is carrying a hanger rather than a sword…I haven't yet found one, in 28mm at least, but this sort of rig might be more appropriate for a Commissioned Officer:

The uniform of the figure on the left of Brigade Game's photo appears to be the same as in the picture of a lieutenant on page 198 of 'The Trafalgar Companion' by Mark Adkin. That's the way I painted the figure too, in my picture above. The weapon carried by the Brigade officer may well be a 'hanger', but I'm no expert on weapons. I do note he hasn't got any scabbard on, though. Whatever, I do think he is an officer, and he is very nicely modelled indeed. |

Great image Sparker that shows just how dark the real uniform is or rather probably was. |
